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.*
