During the course of the consideration by the Environment Committee, the bill underwent a number of changes to address issues raised by both submitters and the committee itself. The first modification is to change the commencement date from 12 to 15 months after the date of Royal assent. This will ensure sufficient time for the development of the regulations required to implement the changes to be developed and consulted on. A number of changes were made to the sections relating to the modular component manufacturer scheme. These changes will improve integration with building consent processes and clarify how the scheme aligns with consumer rights and the remedies under the Building Act.
