Gangs Act 2024

Miscellaneous provisions - Secondary legislation

33: Regulations

You could also call this:

“Rules to help make the Gangs Act work properly”

The Governor-General can make rules called regulations to help carry out the Gangs Act 2024. These regulations can do two things:

First, they can provide for anything that the Gangs Act says should or must be covered by regulations.

Second, they can handle any small details needed to make the Gangs Act work properly or have its full effect.

When these regulations are made, they are considered secondary legislation. This means they follow special rules about how they are published, which you can find in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
