Exposure draft of updated Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Regulations 2004 and Responsible Lending Code

These exposure drafts give effect to initial decisions by Cabinet to make adjustments to the Regulations and the Code. These decisions seek to address some of the concerns that have been heard in the investigation into the initial implementation of the Credit Contracts Legislation Amendment Act 2019 and the Regulations.

We seek feedback on whether the drafting of the Regulations and the Code achieves the policy intent or could have unintended consequences.
