Dated at Wellington this 24th day of September 2021.
Cassie Nicholson,
Chief Parliamentary Counsel.
Explanatory note
This note is not part of the direction, but is intended to indicate its general effect.
This direction is given by the Chief Parliamentary Counsel under section 76(2) of the Legislation Act 2019. It comes into force on 28 October 2021, the same day as the Legislation Act 2019.
Sections 75 to 77 of that Act help New Zealand to meet its international transparency obligations under the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (the CPTPP).
Legislation to which the international transparency obligations apply must be published as required by Article 26.2 of the CPTTP. Legislation that is published by the PCO on the legislation website meets that requirement. Secondary legislation that is not published by the PCO must be published on the maker’s website with certain details about it, and the PCO must provide links to it from the legislation website. To enable that to be done, the makers must give certain information about the secondary legislation to the PCO.
This direction sets out the details of the secondary legislation that must be published by the maker and the information that must be provided to the PCO.
Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2012.
Date of notification in Gazette: 29 September 2021.
This direction is administered by the Parliamentary Counsel Office.
