Parliament's Finance and Expenditure select committee is reconvening to hear public submissions on the lightning rod Regulatory Standards Bill.
The bill - championed by ACT's David Seymour - sets out "principles of responsible regulation" and would require ministers to explain whether they are following them.
It would also set up a new board to assess legislation against those benchmarks.
RNZ deputy political editor Craig McCulloch is with us.
