New Zealand law explained for everyone

Gangs Act 2024

2: Commencement

You could also call this:

“When the new gang rules begin”

This new law will start working on 21 November 2024. This means that from that day, the rules in the Gangs Act 2024 will begin to apply. Before this date, the law isn’t active yet. It’s like setting an alarm clock for the law to wake up and start doing its job on that specific day.
