105: Section 254 amended (How this Part works)

You could also call this:

"Changes to how the Minister helps local authorities or Watercare with problems"

When you look at the law, you will see that section 254 is being changed. This change affects how the Minister can help a local authority or Watercare if they have a problem. The Minister's options are only for the local authority or Watercare itself, not for any other groups they might be connected to.

You can find more information about this in section 254. The law is also being updated to include Watercare in some parts of section 254. This means that when you see the words "local authority" in section 254, you will also see the words "or Watercare".
