What does this bill do?
According to the bills digest:
The Net Zero Economy Authority (Transitional Provisions) Bill 2024 (TP Bill) will facilitate the transition of the NZEA from its current status as an Executive Agency within the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C) to a standalone statutory authority. TP Bill provisions relate to the appointment of the first CEO, meeting requirements in the Board’s first calendar year, and the continuing applicability of the PM&C Enterprise Agreement to the [Net Zero Economy Authority's (NZEA)] employees.
The TP Bill also provides that the Minister may, by legislative instrument, make rules, including transitional rules that relate to the enactment of the NZEA Bill and the PM&C Enterprise Agreement. The rules cannot create an offence, impose a tax, or directly amend the TPs.
