Explanatory note
This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations, which come into force on 1 October 2017, amend Schedule 1 of the Land Transport (Offences and Penalties) Regulations 1999.
The amendments made by regulation 4(1) are related to the replacement of the Land Transport Rule: Operator Licensing 2007 with the Land Transport Rule: Operator Licensing 2017. The Land Transport Rule is replaced to give effect to a new regulatory system for small passenger services.
The revocations made by regulation 4(2) are consequential on the introduction of that new regulatory system.
Regulatory impact statement
The Ministry of Transport produced a regulatory impact statement on 15 March 2016 relating to the future framework for small passenger services to help inform the decisions taken by the Government relating to the contents of this instrument.
