Secondary Legislation Bill 199-1 (2019), Government Bill – New Zealand Legislation
199—1
This Bill improves and supports the law relating to the making of secondary legislation. It does so by applying and adjusting the framework of access to, and Parliamentary oversight of, secondary legislation provided for in the Legislation Act 2019 (the new Legislation Act).
The new Legislation Act establishes a single category of secondary legislation to replace the current, complicated definitions of legislative instruments and disallowable instruments in the Legislation Act 2012. Having a single category for secondary legislation will make it easier for individuals and organisations to find the law that applies to them and help Parliament to oversee secondary legislation.
The Bill responds to the recommendations of the Regulations Review Committee’s 2014 Inquiry into the oversight of disallowable instruments that are not legislative instruments. In that report, the Committee highlighted the difficulties it faces in identifying which instruments are disallowable. These difficulties are partly because the category of “disallowable instruments” includes any instrument that has a “significant legislative effect” (as defined in section 39 of the Legislation Act 2012).
Whether an instrument has a “significant legislative effect” can be contestable, which introduces uncertainty over which instruments are subject to Parliament’s disallowance procedure. To address this problem, the Committee recommended that the government introduce legislation to ensure that every empowering provision states which category the instrument falls into, and to remove the “significant legislative effect” test in the Legislation Act 2012. Together with the new Legislation Act, this Bill implements both those recommendations.
Achieving the policy objective by identifying and amending empowering provisions
The Bill achieves its policy objective by amending, in an Act, each provision that empowers the making of an instrument that the Government considers to have legislative effect, and by making consequential amendments to other provisions. The Bill amends over 2,500 existing empowering provisions in more than 550 Acts. Each relevant empowering provision is amended to state that an instrument made under it is secondary legislation.
Identifying and applying a test for legislative effect
The Bill reflects a judgement about which provisions empower the making of instruments with legislative effect. This has been achieved through extensive consultation with the agencies responsible for the legislation.
Broadly, an instrument has legislative effect if it makes the law or alters its content, rather than just applying the law to a particular case. While there is no definitive, catch-all test for legislative effect, case law, commentary, and legislation in New Zealand and internationally assist when considering the issue.
Instruments tend to be legislative if they—
regulate conduct where compliance is a prerequisite for something under the empowering provision, or non-compliance would incur a sanction; or
create, alter, or remove a right where there is a mechanism for enforcing the right; or
set procedural requirements for a legal right or obligation; or
set the amount of a fee or levy; or
change the scope of legislation whether by way of application, modification, or exemption.
Instruments that commence, amend, or repeal other legislation, or create criminal offences or set penalties, are almost always legislative. Conversely, instruments are not legislative if they merely record case-by-case decisions (for example, decisions by courts or administrative decision makers), give effect to transactions, or provide information or non-binding guidance or strategies.
The Bill applies a strong presumption that instruments that primary legislation currently makes expressly disallowable (by section 38(1)﻿(a) or (b) of the Legislation Act 2012) should be classified as secondary legislation. This means that the House of Representatives will retain the ability to disallow these instruments.
It is not the Bill’s policy to change the scope or legal effect of empowering provisions or to affect the validity of instruments already made under them.
The Bill amends all relevant legislation enacted up to 1 June 2019. Amendments to legislation enacted after that date will be proposed at the committee of the whole House.
On the new Legislation Act’s main commencement date (ie, when the single category of secondary legislation is created), the Bill will continue current exemptions from publication, presentation, and disallowance. The Bill also creates a limited number of new exemptions from disallowance in appropriate situations. For example, new disallowance exemptions have been proposed for directions of the Speaker of the House and determinations by the Minister Responsible for Ministerial Services relating to entitlements of members of Parliament and Ministers to travel services under sections 23, 27, and 32 of the Members of Parliament (Remuneration and Services) Act 2013. These instruments are not expressly stated to be disallowable instruments, but may be disallowable by reason of having a significant legislative effect. New exemptions are proposed to ensure that the Speaker and the Minister are able to determine travel entitlements independently. These are clearly appropriate as the members who could disallow them have a direct interest. The instruments will still be published, but control of their content will sit with the Speaker and the Minister, as otherwise members who receive the remuneration and services would be reviewing instruments from which they benefit.
When Schedule 2 of the Legislation (Repeals and Amendments) Act 2019 comes into force, some instruments will be subject to new publication, presentation, and listing requirements. The Bill exempts certain instruments from these requirements where, for example, the instrument affects national security or commercial confidentiality, or is highly sensitive for a similar reason.
Royal prerogative instruments
Although the new Legislation Act removes the current legislative effect test for secondary legislation, it preserves that test for instruments made under the Royal prerogative. This Bill now aligns the approach for prerogative instruments more closely with the methodology applied to other secondary legislation.
The Bill is an omnibus Bill introduced under Standing Order 263(a) and (b). The single broad policy the Bill implements is set out under the “Policy objective” heading above.
The Parliamentary Counsel Office is required to prepare a disclosure statement to assist with the scrutiny of this Bill. The disclosure statement provides access to information about the policy development of the Bill and identifies any significant or unusual legislative features of the Bill.

Clause 2 provides for the Bill’s commencement. As far as possible, the Bill is intended to be commenced on one date. The exact timing depends on how much preparation is needed given the large number of Acts affected. In addition, commencement of some amendments will be deferred until the commencement of related provisions in the new Legislation Act. In particular, the publication exemptions (set out in a replacement schedule for the new Legislation Act) are intended to commence at the same time as the new publication requirements that will apply when Schedule 2 of the Legislation (Repeals and Amendments) Act 2019 commences. The Bill has a back stop commencement date of the fifth anniversary of the date of Royal Assent.
Clause 3 makes all the amendments to empowering provisions required to implement the definition of secondary legislation in the new Legislation Act. The new Legislation Act defines secondary legislation as an instrument made under an Act that states that the instrument is secondary legislation. Clause 3 provides for amendments in Schedules 1 to 32 to use the phrase “[standard text]” as shorthand for the words “secondary legislation (see Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019 for publication requirements)”. This shorthand approach to the amendments is designed to increase consistency and shorten the size of the Bill given the number of amendments required. The discussion below on Schedules 1 to 32 expands on the organisation and nature of the amendments.
Clauses 4 and 5 contain amendments to the new Legislation Act needed to implement changes to the secondary legislation framework and set out exemptions from publication requirements, requirements for presentation to the House of Representatives, and disallowance that apply at different points under the new Legislation Act. The effect of these amendments (and their timing) is set out further below in the discussion on Schedules 33 to 36.
Clause 6 contains minor amendments to the new publication requirements that will apply, in the future, under the new Legislation Act (but, until brought into force, are set out in Schedule 2 of the Legislation (Repeals and Amendments) Act 2019) so as to align those requirements better with the amendments made by the rest of the Bill).
Amendments in Schedules 1 to 32
Organisation of amendments
The amendments set out in Schedules 1 to 32 are arranged by administering agency, with each schedule containing amendments to the Acts administered by a particular agency. Within each schedule, the amendments are arranged in alphabetical order by title of the Act being amended. If an Act is administered by more than 1 agency, it is usually included only in 1 schedule but, in some cases, may be included in multiple schedules. This approach has been taken to facilitate consideration of the Bill by Select Committee and the House.
An alphabetical list of the Acts amended in Schedules 1 to 32 and the Schedule(s) in which they are amended can be found on PCO’s website.
Most amendments relate to instruments that will become secondary legislation. Amendments in this category—
add statements that the instruments are secondary legislation:
remove statements about whether the instruments are legislative instruments or disallowable instruments. These statements are redundant, as those terms will be obsolete once the Legislation Act 2012 has been repealed by the new Legislation Act:
make consequential amendments, including to align existing provisions for making, commencing, and publishing of instruments with the rules that will apply under the new Legislation Act. For example, amendments may remove existing requirements to notify or publish instruments in the Gazette because those requirements will be redundant once the instruments are published under the new Legislation Act.
Other amendments—
update references to the Legislation Act 2012 or Interpretation Act 1999, which will be repealed by the new Legislation Act, so that they refer to the equivalent provisions of the new Legislation Act:
repeal provisions that will be redundant once the new Legislation Act comes into force. For example, the new Legislation Act will require secondary legislation that must be confirmed by an Act to state this fact in its explanatory note. Therefore, individual empowering Acts will no longer need to contain the requirement:
make minor and technical consequential amendments.
The amendments in Schedules 1 to 32 are coded to make it easier to identify the categories into which instruments fall under the Bill.
There are a number of codes for amendments that show—
the current status of the instruments—whether they are legislative instruments (LI), expressly stated to be disallowable despite not being legislative instruments (XD), or neither (–); and
the future status of the instruments—whether they will be secondary legislation (SL) or not (–).
Codes are not just for amendments to empowering provisions. The code for an amendment to an empowering provision is also used for related consequential amendments. This could include amendments to related provisions about publication or commencement.
It is important to note that the XD code covers only a subset of disallowable instruments. An instrument may also be disallowable because it is currently classified as a legislative instrument or because it has significant legislative effect (see section 38 of the Legislation Act 2012).
A neutral code (N) is used for amendments that do not change or relate to the categorisation of particular instruments. Neutral amendments include those that merely update references to the Legislation Act 2012 and the Interpretation Act 1999 or repeal provisions that will be redundant once the new Legislation Act comes into force.
Initially there will be no substantive change to publication requirements (because the existing publication requirements are preserved by the new Legislation Act). However, outlined below is a high-level guide to the relationship between the codes and changes to publication or disallowance that will apply once the new Legislation Act (with the centralised publication requirements) is fully in force.
Ultimate effect on publication
Effect on disallowance
LI/SL
Legislative instruments that will be secondary legislation
No change (continued publication under the new Legislation Act)
No change (instruments will continue to be disallowable)
LI/–
Legislative instruments that will not be secondary legislation
Change (no future publication under the new Legislation Act, but provision is made for alternative publication or notification)
Change (instruments will no longer be disallowable)
XD/SL
Disallowable instruments (because of an express statutory statement to that effect) that will be secondary legislation
Change (future publication under the new Legislation Act, and existing publication requirements are removed if redundant)
XD/–
Disallowable instruments (because of an express statutory statement to that effect) that will not be secondary legislation
No change (still no publication under the new Legislation Act, and existing publication requirements remain in place)
–/SL
Other instruments (that is, instruments that are not LI or XD) that will be secondary legislation
Minimal change (instruments will be disallowable, but are likely to already be so on the grounds of having significant legislative effect under section 38(1)﻿(c) of the Legislation Act 2012)
The amendment does not relate to particular instruments or affect the categorisation of instruments
Types of enactment amended
This Bill amends public Acts, private Acts, local Acts, and provincial Acts.
The Bill does not amend any Imperial Acts. For the status of instruments made under Imperial legislation, see new section 6A of the Imperial Laws Application Act 1988, as inserted by section 9 of the Legislation (Repeals and Amendments) Act 2019.
The Bill does not amend any legislative instruments. Some legislative instruments will need to be amended to state that instruments made under them are secondary legislation. However, those amendments will be made later using the transitional regulation-making power in new section 147A to be inserted into the new Legislation Act.
Amendments in Schedules 33 to 36
Amendments to secondary legislation framework
Schedules 33 and 34 amend the new Legislation Act to change the definition of secondary legislation for Royal prerogative instruments to align it more closely with the methodology applied to other secondary legislation. Rather than relying on the legislative effect test, Royal prerogative instruments will be secondary legislation if they are in a form and for a purpose set out in new Schedule 1A (to be inserted into the new Legislation Act, see Schedule 34). As with the amendments to empowering provisions, this does not alter the scope of Royal prerogative powers.
Exemptions from publication, presentation, list, and disallowance requirements
Schedules 35 and 36 create the exemptions from publication, presentation, list, and disallowance exemptions that will apply under new Schedule 3 of the new Legislation Act. There are 2 versions of new Schedule 3 as follows:
one (in Schedule 35) is a replacement schedule that will apply initially when the new Legislation Act commences (when existing publication requirements are preserved). This version contains the presentation and disallowance exemptions that will be applicable at that time:
the other (in Schedule 36) is a replacement schedule that will apply when the centralised publication requirements are commenced in the new Legislation Act. This version adds the publication and list exemptions that will then be relevant.
