This Act comes into force immediately after the expiry of the 6-month period that starts on the date of Royal assent.
The law says that this Act will start working six months after the Queen or King of New Zealand signs it. The time when the Queen or King signs a law is called “Royal assent”. So, you need to wait for six months after the Royal assent before this Act becomes active. This waiting period gives everyone time to get ready for the new rules.
