Notification of Ordinary Rule

Pursuant to section 161(3) of the Land Transport Act
1998, notification is hereby given of the making of Land Transport Rule: Passenger Service Vehicles Amendment 2012 ("the amendment Rule").
The amendment Rule amends Land Transport Rule: Passenger Service Vehicles 1999 ("the Rule"), which specifies minimum requirements for the design and construction of passenger service vehicles operating on
New Zealand roads.
The amendment Rule makes changes to the Rule that are required to keep it up to date with ongoing changes in technology and industry practice.
It will improve the safety of passengers, generally reduce compliance costs for industry and will lessen the need for exemptions to be issued.
The amendment Rule will also clarify the Rule in several areas and make enforcement of requirements simpler and more consistent.
The amendment Rule comes into force on 1 October 2012.
It is available for inspection free of charge at the National Office of the NZ Transport Agency, Victoria Arcade,
50 Victoria Street, Wellington, and at the NZ Transport Agency’s regional offices.
A bound copy will be available for purchase from bookshops that sell legislation or from Legislation Direct, telephone (04) 568 0005.
