Rules—incorporation of matter in documents
63 Rules—incorporation of matter in documents
Despite subsection 14(2) of the Legislation Act 2003, the rules may make provision in relation to a matter by applying, adopting or incorporating, with or without modification, any matter contained in an instrument or other writing as in force or existing from time to time.
Subsection (1) applies even if the instrument or other writing was created for the purpose of being applied, adopted or incorporated by the rules.
The Minister must ensure that an instrument or other writing is published on the Department’s website if:
the instrument or other writing was created for the purpose of being applied, adopted or incorporated by the rules; and
the rules make provision as mentioned in subsection (1) in relation to the instrument or other writing.
To the extent that rules making provision as mentioned in subsection (1) constitutes a subdelegation of the Minister’s power to make rules under this Act, subsection (1) authorises that subdelegation.
