Attorney-General Judith Collins unveiled the Secondary Legislation Drafting Toolkit, developed by New Zealand's Parliamentary Counsel Office (PCO). The toolkit aims to enhance the clarity, consistency, and quality of secondary legislation drafted by government agencies. It offers guidance on standard components, a "How to Draft" guide, and a template for drafting secondary laws, such as regulations, Orders in Council, and class exemptions. The toolkit complements the Secondary Legislation Access Standards and is part of a multi-year transition towards improved access and quality in secondary legislation, promoting transparency, accountability, and economic growth.
