8 Charges for monitoring and regulatory intervention to ensure compliance

(1) Subject to paragraphs (3) and (4), a person must pay the charge arising from the performance of the chargeable functions under sub-paragraphs (s) and (t) of regulation 3(2) if the regulator has reasonable grounds to believe that the person may contravene, is contravening or has contravened a building enactment or a requirement imposed by virtue of a building enactment. (2) A charge for the performance of a chargeable function under sub-paragraphs (s) or (t) of regulation 3(2) must not include any costs which are connected with a criminal investigation or prosecution and which are incurred, in either case, after the date on which any information is laid by the regulator. (3) Where a charge is payable under paragraph (1) by— (a) a person who was acting in their capacity as an employee, that person’s employer must pay the charge; or (b) a resident or owner of a residential unit in an occupied higher-risk building, the principal accountable person for that building must pay the charge. (4) A charge is not payable under paragraph (1) in relation to an investigation under section 58H, 58T or 58Z3 of the 1984 Act by— (a) a registered building inspector if the regulator’s investigation concludes that they have not breached the code of conduct or been guilty of professional misconduct; or (b) a registered building control approver if the regulator’s investigation concludes that they have not contravened the professional conduct rules or the operational standards rules.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
