Repeal of Regulations Postponement Bill (No 2) 2013
FACT SHEET
The Repeal of Regulations Postponement Bill (No. 2) 2013 extends the expiration date of the
Surveyor Regulations 2003 to 26 November 2014 and the Animal (Brands and Movement)
Regulations 2003 until 10 December 2014.
Specific legislation of this type has been standard annual business of government since 2005
and is required due to provisions of the Subordinate Legislation Act 1992. Such a Bill can be
anticipated once or more each year, most commonly at the end of the year as most
Regulations tend to expire then.
It is the mechanism by which government ensures continuation of administration of
legislation in cases where it has not been practicable to remake the subordinate legislation
before it is due to be repealed. These repeals occur either under the Subordinate Legislation
Act 1992 or, if the Regulations have already been extended, under the previous year's
postponement legislation.
Nothing in this Bill prevents any of the specified Regulations being rescinded before the
dates listed above.
