This bill would reduce the number of laws that require forms to be set by regulations.
It would replace those forms with other approaches, such as letting regulations directly state the requirements or letting ministers approve forms through notifiable instruments.
The bill also includes minor technical amendments to support the changed provisions, such as application provisions clarifying when the old form requirements stop.
