Explanatory note
This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations are made under clause 19 of Schedule 1 of the Legislation Act 2019 and come into force on 28 October 2021.
Clause 19 allows regulations to make various amendments to legislation for the purpose of facilitating the orderly implementation of the Legislation Act 2019. The amendments are of the same general nature as those being made by the Secondary Legislation Act 2021. They include amendments—
to insert, delete, or amend a statement to the effect that an instrument or a class of instruments is secondary legislation; and
that are necessary or desirable—
as a consequence of instruments being secondary legislation or not (for example, to delete any reference to disallowable instruments or to insert publication or notification requirements for instruments that are not secondary legislation); or
to ensure that the Legislation Act 2019 applies appropriately in relation to the instrument (for example, to clarify the maker of the instrument); or
as a consequence of another amendment authorised by clause 19 (for example, to update the legislation to reflect changed section references or procedural requirements).
In general, these regulations—
make amendments that ought to have been included in the Secondary Legislation Act 2021 but were overlooked; and
correct errors or inconsistencies in the amendments made by that Act; and
amend legislation that has been enacted since that Act was enacted.
Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2012.
Date of notification in Gazette: 16 September 2021.
These regulations are administered by the Parliamentary Counsel Office.
