| Department | Name of Act | Provisions not in force | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ministry of Justice | Affiliate Te Arawa Iwi/Hapu Claims Settlement Act 2008 | ss 107 and 108 | Linked to other Treaty settlement legislation yet to come into force. Departmental comment: On 29 September 2008, the Affiliate Te Arawa Iwi and Hapu Claims Settlement Act 2008 (the Act) gained its Royal Assent. Settlement date for most of the Act was 2 July 09. Two outstanding aspects of the Act are the vesting of the Whakarewarewa Thermal Springs and Roto-a-Tamaheke reserves, which are provided for under ss 107 and 108 of the Act. These sections will come into force by a date to be appointed by the Governor-General by Order in Council. On-vesting of Reserves and Orders in Council: The Act and the associated Vesting Deed jointly provide that the Whakarewarewa Thermal Springs and the Roto-a-Tamaheke reserves will vest in the Affiliate Te Arawa's post-settlement governance entity Te Paumuatanga, and immediately on-vest in a Joint Trust representing Tūhourangi Ngāti Wāhiao (affiliate of Te Pumautanga) and Ngati Whakaue. This process is dependant on the passage of the Whakarewarewa and Roto-a-Tamaheke Vesting Bill. Whakarewarewa and Roto-a-Tamaheke Vesting Bill: On 9 September 08, the Whakarewarewa and Roto-a-Tamaheke Vesting Bill (the Bill) was introduced into the House. The Bill received its first reading on 23 September 08, after which it was referred to the Māori Affairs Committee. The Minister of Māori Affairs has responsibility for progressing the Bill and expects it to proceed to a second reading in late September 09. |
| Ministry of Transport | Aviation Crimes Amendment Act 2007 | Whole Act except ss 3, 4(2) and (3), and 5 and 6 | Relates to aviation security measures. Departmental comment: See departmental comment on the Civil Aviation Amendment Act 2007 (to which this Act relates). |
| Ministry of Justice | Care of Children Amendment Act 2008 | ss 5 to 8, 10 to 13, and 18 to 21 | Needs additional funding to bring into force. Departmental comment: Relates to agreements between parents and guardians, duty of lawyers and Courts with regard to reconciliation and conciliation, disputes between guardians that lead to mediation or counselling, the mediation and counselling process, and appeals to the High Court and Court of Appeal. Will come into force on a date to be appointed by an Order in Council. Needs operational policy development and additional funding to bring it into force. |
| Ministry of Transport | Civil Aviation Amendment Act 1992 | s 35(1) to (3) | Relates to removal of exclusive right of Airways Corporation to provide certain services. Departmental comment: Sections 35(1) to (3) of the Civil Aviation Amendment 1992 are not likely to be brought into force in the near future. We will refer this matter to the team in the Ministry that will be reviewing the Civil Aviation Act. |
| Ministry of Transport | Civil Aviation Amendment Act 2007 | ss 4(1), 6, 12(1), 18, 19(4), and Part 3 of the Schedule | Relates to civil aviation security. Departmental comment: Sections 4(1), 6, 12(1), 18, 19(4), and Part 3 of the Schedule of the Civil Aviation Amendment Act 2007 relate to in-flight security officers (IFSOs). The provisions are contained in the Act so that they may be enacted quickly in the event that in-flight security officers need to be deployed on flights. The provisions will only be brought into force when needed. This also applies to the related provisions in the Aviation Crimes Amendment Act 2007. |
| Ministry for the Environment | Climate Change Response (Emissions Trading) Amendment Act 2008 | New ss 165 and 182 of principal Act | Relates to forestry (offsetting of liabilities). Departmental comment: The provisions have not been brought into force because "offsetting" (the process by which any liability of New Zealand in relation to the deforestation of pre-1990 forest land can be offset by the planting of new forest land) in relation to pre-1990 forest land has not been recognised internationally under the Kyoto Protocol and if it is recognised internationally then the Minister must make a recommendation to the Governor-General to bring these sections into force. The provisions are unlikely to come into force until an international agreement allows for offsetting, because to bring them into force before offsetting has been recognised internationally will have significant fiscal costs for New Zealand under the Protocol. The enactments should not be repealed. |
| Department of Conservation | Conservation Amendment Act 1996 | s 24 | Relates to ss 26ZJA and 26ZJB of principal Act. |
| Ministry of Economic Development | Copyright (New Technologies) Amendment Act 2008 | ss 48, 53, and 85 | Relates to provisions requiring amendment or replacement. Departmental comment: Amendments to ss 48 and 85 are contained in the Trade Marks (International Treaties and Enforcement) Amendment Bill, which is currently being considered by the Foreign Affairs Select Committee. Section 53 (which would insert new section 92A into the principal Act) is currently under review at the request of Cabinet. Amendments to ss 48 and 85 will come into force when the Trade Marks (International Treaties and Enforcement) Amendment Bill is enacted (late 2009/early 2010). A Bill to amend s 53 (as it relates to s 92A of the principal Act) is expected to be introduced in Nov 2009 and enacted in early 2010. |
| Department of Corrections | Corrections (Mothers with Babies) Amendment Act 2008 | Whole Act | Requires changes to facilities of women's prisons before commencement. Departmental comment: The Act has not yet been brought into force because the amendments require the construction of appropriate facilities to meet the development needs of children up to the age of 2 years and those facilities have not yet been built. New facilities are required because children aged between 12 months and 24 months are far more mobile and active than babies and need access to an environment that will support their developmental needs. The existing self-care units, where women with babies currently reside, can only meet the needs of children up to the age of 9 months. The department is unable to provide an indication of when the Act is likely to be brought into force because it has not yet received funding for the construction of the new facilities. |
| New Zealand Customs Service | Customs and Excise Amendment Act (No 3) 2008 | Whole Act (except ss 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 12, 20, and 23) | Brought into force on 24 September 2009. |
| Ministry of Justice | Domestic Violence Act 1995 | ss 108 to 120, for purposes of directions about non-disclosure of information as to whereabouts of protected person | Relates to information in public registers referred to in clause 3 of the Domestic Violence Act Commencement Order 1998. Departmental comment: Part VI of the Domestic Violence Act 1995 (ss 107-120) contains provisions that limit the disclosure of information of public registers where a person with a protection order applies to the register for a direction to that effect. The direction relates to information about the person's whereabouts. The underlying objective is to assist victims to establish a new life for themselves if they wish to do so without being able to be traced through public registers. Sections 108-120 of the Act are in force for the purposes of the public registers in clause 3 of the Domestic Violence Commencement Order 1998 only. However, there are a number of public registers that these provisions do not relate to, so the provision is not fully in force. Further policy work has to be undertaken in order to assess whether the provisions should cover further registers. |
| Ministry of Justice | Domestic Violence Amendment Act 2008 | ss 4 to 6, 14 | Departmental comment: The Ministry will bring sections 4-6 and 14 into force when funding has been secured. |
| Ministry of Economic Development | Electricity Amendment Act 2006 | ss 4, 5, 6(4) to (9), 8, 9(3), 11 to 25, 26(2) to (8), 28, 32 to 41, and 43 | Departmental comment: Relates to restrictions on electrical work, regulation and licensing, and disciplinary provisions. Also provides for Safety Management Systems. (Aiming to bring into force within the next 12 months once related regulations are made.) Currently developing Electricity (Safety) Regulations. It was decided when going through Select Committee that the regulations would define what a Safety Management System is. It is necessary for the regulations to be in place before the provisions of the Act are in force. Aiming to bring into force in conjunction with the Electricity (Safety) Regulations on 1 January 2010. |
| Ministry of Justice | Family Courts Amendment Act 2008 | ss 4 and 5 | Departmental comment: Relates to the appointment and powers of Senior Family Court Registrars, amendments to s 8 inserting "mediator" after "counsellor". Will come into force on a date to be appointed by an Order in Council. Needs operational policy development and additional funding to bring it into force. |
| Ministry of Justice | Family Proceedings Amendment Act 2008 | ss 4, 6, 8 to 12, 14, 15(2), 16, 17(3), 18, 19, 20, and 27 | Departmental comment: Relates to the counselling and mediation process and rules under the Act, duty of Courts as to reconciliation and conciliation. Will come into force on a date to be appointed by Order in Council. Needs operational policy development and additional funding to bring it into force. |
| Treasury | Finance Act (No 2) 1988 | ss 7 to 9, 14, 23, and 29 | Departmental comment: Section 7: relates to Solid Energy NZ Ltd - specifically removing that company from Schedules 1 & 2 of the State Owned Enterprises Act - this company is still to be an SOE. Section 8: relates to Solid Energy NZ Ltd (and current listing in Schedule 1 of the Official Information Act 1982) - pre- requisite for commencement not satisfied as Crown owns greater than 50% of shares in capital - see s 6(2). Section 9: relates to Solid Energy NZ Ltd (and current listing in Schedule 1 of the Ombudsmen Act 1975) - pre-requisite for commencement not satisfied as Crown owns greater than 50% of shares in capital - see s 6(2). Section 14: relates to Government Property Services Ltd (which was struck off on 8 Nov 2001) and the Real Estate Agents Act 1976 - possibly unnecessary to bring this into force although more research required to determine whether it could possibly be repealed. Section 23: relates to omitting "Crown Forestry Management Limited" from Schedule 36 of the Income Tax Act 2007 - gives special tax treatment (this company was struck off on 28 Sep 2001) [perhaps this should be brought into force unless intended that company be restored - need to check with MAF Crown Forestry]. Section 29: relates to amending Schedule 4 of the State Owned Enterprises Act (this Schedule has expired) - therefore unnecessary to bring into force, this may be a candidate for repeal - more research is required. |
| Treasury | Finance Act 1991 | ss 23 to 26 | Relates to Timberlands West Coast Limited. Departmental comment: Section 23: relates to Timberlands West Coast Ltd ceasing to become an SOE - is likely that this section will be brought into force by Order in Council later this year or next year. Section 24: relates to Timberlands West Coast Ltd (and current listing on Schedule 1 of the Ombudsmen Act 1975) - pre-requisite for commencement not satisfied as Crown owns greater than 50% of shares in capital (see s 1(10)). Section 25: relates to Timberlands West Coast Ltd (and current listing on Schedule 1 of the Official Information Act 1982) - pre-requisite for commencement not satisfied as Crown owns greater than 50% of shares in capital (see s 1(10)). Section 26: relates to Timberlands West Coast Limited - pre-requisite for commencement not satisfied as Crown owns none of the ordinary shares (see s 1(11)). |
| Ministry of Economic Development | Financial Service Providers (Registration and Dispute Resolution) Act 2008 | Part 2 and s 48 | Awaiting further work in design of registration system for financial service providers. Departmental comment: Will be brought into force when the registration system and reserve scheme are in place. Estimated 1 May 2010. |
| Ministry of Fisheries | Fisheries Act 1996 | ss 314(1)(a), (b), and (c), 338 | Relates to repeal of provisions in the Fisheries Act 1983, and packhorse rock lobsters. Departmental comment: Section 314(1)(a), (b), (c) allows repeal of sections of the Fisheries Act 1983 by Order in Council. The 1983 Act has been largely replaced by the 1996 Act but a few provisions of it are still in force. Section 338 of the 1996 Act was included to allow for a changed season for packhorse rock lobster. The 1983 Act as a whole will be included as part of our regulatory scan project and we envisage this project producing recommendations for amendments to our various Acts and Regulations. We will add s 338 of the 1996 Act to the list of matters to be considered as part of this project. In these circumstances, we would suggest that the ultimate fate of these provisions awaits the outcome of our regulatory scan project. |
| New Zealand Food Safety Authority | Food Amendment Act 1996 | s 8 | Relates to repeal of provisions that prohibit the sale of raw milk. Departmental comment: Reason why s 8 of the Food Amendment Act 1996 has not been brought into force: If commenced by Order in Council, s 8 of the Food Amendment Act 1996 will repeal s 11A of the Food Act 1981 (which was inserted into the Food Act 1981 by s 27 of the Milk Act 1988) to provide for a prohibition on the sale, resale, and buying of raw milk, except in limited quantities for consumption by the person buying the milk or their family. Section 8 of the Food Amendment Act 1996 was inserted in order that the prohibition on (and limited exception to) the sale of raw milk in s 11A of the Food Act 1981 could eventually be replaced by a food standard that would be specifically tailored to manage the risks associated with the selling and handling of raw milk. The mechanism for the issuing of food standards was also introduced into the Food Act 1981 by way of the Food Amendment Act 1996. Up until 1 Jul 2002, the Food Act 1981 was administered by the Ministry of Health. NZFSA (as part of MAF until Jul 2007) has been responsible for the administration of the Food Act 1981 after that time s 11A of the Food Act 1981 was amended by the Animal Products Act 1999 to allow for a further exception to the prohibition contained in that section for the sale of raw milk to dairy processors who processes it under certain risk management tools under the Animal Products Act 1999. NZFSA has also undertaken work on managing some of the risks associated with raw milk by way of on-farm and processing requirements developed under the Animal Products Act 1999. More recently, NZFSA has undertaken work in relation to the safe manufacturing of unpasteurised raw milk products. This recent work has included the issuing of a food standard relating to raw milk. However, the standard and the Animal Products Specifications that have been developed are limited in their application to certain controls associated with the import and manufacture of raw milk products, as opposed to the sale of raw milk for consumption. The broader question of the possible repeal of s 11A of the Food Act (by way of the commencement of s 8 of the Food Amendment Act 1996) has been under consideration by NZFSA through its domestic food review project. Indication of timetable for when section 8 of the Food Amendment Act 1996 is likely to be brought into force: Section 8 of the Food Amendment Act 1996 is unlikely to be brought into force in the near future. This is because the issues currently provided for in s 11A of the Food Act 1981 will soon be addressed under a new Food Bill. Could section 8 of the Food Amendment Act 1996 be repealed? Section 8 of the Food Amendment Act 1996 could be repealed. However, the need for this will be overtaken by the introduction of the Food Bill. The Food Bill will repeal the Food Act 1981 and its amendments in their entirety. |
| Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry | Forests Amendment Act 1996 | Whole Act | Relates to supply contracts in relation to forest produce owned by another person. |
| Ministry of Economic Development | Gas Amendment Act 2004 | Part 4A, subpart 3 (as to be inserted into principal Act) | Relates to the alternative mechanism of an Energy Commission as registrar of the gas sector. Departmental comment: Provisions not in force are alternatives to the current co- regulatory model in force. Therefore as long as the Gas Industry Company Ltd continues to function and deliver the outcomes of the Government Policy Statement on Gas Governance this provision remains inactive. |
| Ministry of Economic Development | Gas Amendment Act 2006 | ss 4, 5, 6(2) to (5), 7, 10 to 12, and 15 to 18 | Relates to offences and the provision of Safety Management Systems. Departmental comment: Currently developing Gas (Safety and Measurement) Regulations. It is important for these regulations to be in force before the provisions of the Act come into force because these regulations will define what parts of the gas sector need to have a Safety Management System and will define what a Safety Management System is. Aiming to bring into force in conjunction with the Gas (Safety and Measurement) Regulations on 1 April 2010 (to line up with Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006, see below). |
| Ministry of Economic Development | Geographical Indications (Wine and Spirits) Registration Act 2006 | Whole Act (except s 62) | Relates to a framework for the registration of geographical indications. Departmental comment: Cabinet decision taken to delay bringing into force, pending resolution of several implementation issues to be addressed through international negotiations. Situation to be reviewed in Dec 09 following proposed WTO Ministerial meeting. |
| Treasury | Government Superannuation Fund Amendment Act (No 2) 1990 | s 12(2) | Relates to the basis for meeting the employer share of benefits. Departmental comment: Relates to annual subsidies up to 1 Jul 1991 from Government and from funds or accounts out of which contributors' salaries are paid - relates to the repeal of certain enactments - will need to seek further advice from the GSF for advice on this provision. |
| Housing Corporation of New Zealand | Housing Corporation Amendment Act 2001 | ss 24(3) to (5) and 25(2) | Relates to transfer of assets from Housing New Zealand Limited. |
| Department of Labour | Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation, and Compensation Amendment Act (No 2) 2005 | ss 3(2), (5), and (7), 52(1), and 53 | Relates to definitions of registered health professionals and treatment providers. Departmental comment: These provisions enable types of registered health professionals and treatment providers to be defined by regulations as a means of responding to changes in scope in the Health Practitioners' Competency Assurance Act 2003. These provisions are to come into force following the review of counsellor regulations and other policy work. It is expected that these provisions will be brought into force during 2010 by Order in Council. |
| Department of Labour | Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation, and Compensation Amendment Act 2008 | s 4(4) | Relates to definition of nurse practitioner. Departmental comment: This provision inserts a new definition for nurse practitioner that is linked to a definition in regulations. This provision will come into force following regulatory reviews in the areas of treatment provider definitions and cost of treatment. It is expected that these provisions will be brought into force during 2010 by Order in Council. |
| Treasury | International Finance Agreements Amendment Act 1998 | Whole Act | Relates to the special one-time allocation of Special Drawing Rights in the International Monetary Fund. Departmental comment: Relates to the amendment of Schedule 1 of the International Finance Agreements Act 1961 - Articles of Agreement of the International Monetary Fund (relating to the allocation of special drawing rights). The pre-requisite support of those entitled to vote was reached last month. It is expected that this Act will be brought into force in the next few months. |
| Ministry of Justice | Judicature (High Court Rules) Amendment Act 2008 | Subparts 15 and 16 of Part 5 | Departmental comment: Relates to electronic filing which requires more development before it can be brought into force. Will come into force on a date to be appointed by an Order in Council. Will be implemented when the technology is ready, which requires additional funding. |
| Ministry of Justice | Juries Amendment Act 2008 | ss 4, 11, and 12 | Departmental comment: This section amends s 5 of the Juries Act 1981 to provide for larger jury districts and is to come into force by Order in Council. The section has not been brought into force because there is a significant gap in the law, which poses operational problems. While the law provides a mechanism to declare the boundaries of District Court Jury Districts where they overlap, there is no provision for a similar mechanism for declaring High Court Jury Districts where they overlap. This would mean that if the section was brought into force there would be no way of setting the boundaries of some High Court Jury Districts. This oversight was discovered while the work to implement the provision was being carried out. An amendment to s 4 is to be included in the Statutes Amendment Bill 2009 to provide for a mechanism to declare High Court Jury District boundaries where they overlap. When that amendment is passed the section will be brought into force. Section 11 of the Juries Amendment Act 2008 inserts new sections 14B and 14C into the Juries Act 1981 to provide Registrars with the power to allow people to defer their jury duty to a time that is within 12 months of the date for which they were summoned. This is to allow people who cannot serve on a jury at the time they are summoned to serve on a jury at a later more convenient time. This section is to come into force by Order in Council. It has not been brought into force because during the implementation work it was discovered that the section as drafted could not be made to work in practice. The section requires the Registrar to nominate a specific date within the 12-month deferral period when the juror must report for jury duty. Because jury trials are not scheduled that far in advance it would be difficult for the Registrar to nominate a future date that would definitely coincide with a jury trial. In some smaller areas there may be no more jury trials in the particular time frame. It is intended to include an amendment to s 11 of the Juries Amendment Act 2008 in the Statutes Amendment Bill 2009 to provide that when jury service is deferred it can be deferred to a period of time within which the person may be required to carry out jury duty. The Registrar will then at a later time either send a new summons with a specific date within the deferral period for the person to attend, or will send a letter advising that no jury trials are to be held in the relevant period and that the person's jury obligation has ceased. When the amendment to s 11 has passed the section will be brought into force. Section 12 of the Juries Amendment Act 2008 amends s 15 of the Juries Act 1981 and relates to excusals from jury service, as opposed to deferrals. It is also to be brought into force by Order in Council. Because there is an interconnection between ss 11 and 12 (s 12 refers to the power to defer) s 12 has to come into force at the same time as s 11. |
| Ministry of Transport | Land Transport Amendment Act 2009 | Whole Act (except ss 4, 24, 27 to 31, 32(1), (4), (16), (17), and 35(2) and (3)) | Requires regulations relating to the motor vehicle register in order to bring into force. Departmental comment: As identified in the table, some sections of the Land Transport Amendment Act 2009 have already come into force. Provisions relating to drug-driving, contained in ss 5 to 23, 25, and 26 of the Act, are due to come into force on 1 Nov 2009. The rest of the Act is expected to come into force in mid-2010. The provisions need to come into force at different times to allow for an update to the Landata computer system. Certain provisions have been brought into force so that regulations can be enacted to facilitate this process. |
| Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade | Nuclear-Test-Ban Act 1999 | Whole Act | Departmental comment: The Nuclear-Test-Ban Act 1999 seeks to implement New Zealand's obligations under the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). The Act, like other legislation to implement obligations under a specific treaty, is to be brought into force by Order in Council only once the treaty itself is in force. At present the CTBT is not in force. It will enter into force once all 44 Annex 2 countries under the CTBT have ratified the treaty. At this point it is difficult to predict when the CTBT will enter into force. There are a small number of Annex 2 countries which have yet to ratify, including the United States, China, India, and Pakistan. While there may be movement towards ratification in the next period, particularly as countries like the United States reassess their position, ratification by all Annex 2 countries is unlikely to occur in the short term. |
| Ministry of Justice | Parole Amendment Act 2007 | ss 4(1), (3), (7), 16, 48, 49, and 67 | Departmental comment: Relates to changes to parole eligibility and parole guidelines to be prepared by the Sentencing Council, and was intended to come into force on a date to be appointed by Order in Council. The Government has indicated it will not proceed with the establishment of the Sentencing Council and is therefore likely to repeal these amendments in due course. |
| Department of Building and Housing | Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006 | ss 3 to 27, 36 to 141, 146 to 171, 173 to 187, and the Schedules | Relates to the provision of sanitary plumbing, gasfitting, and drainlaying services. Needs more work on regulations, aiming to bring into force in next 12 months. Departmental comment: They have not yet come into force as it was deemed necessary to provide stakeholders time to develop underlying policies to guide the industry when these provisions came into force and to redevelop existing underlying policies and tertiary regulation to ensure that these policies and tertiary regulation accurately reflected the current operating environment. The provisions that have not yet come into force are not fundamental to allow the continued registration and licensing of plumbers, gasfitters, and drainlayers. This is because equivalent provisions in the 1976 Act continue. It is anticipated that the remaining provisions will be brought into force on 1 April 2010. |
| Reserve Bank of New Zealand | Reserve Bank of New Zealand Amendment Act 2008 | new s 157L of principal Act | Relates to governance requirements for deposit takers. Not ready to bring into force (but likely to be brought into force within 12 to 18 months). |
| Ministry for the Environment | Resource Management Amendment Act 2005 | ss 108, 115(2) to (4), and 117 | Relates to Environment Court's powers to determine applications for declaration on notification matters. Departmental comment: The provisions have not been brought into force because we are waiting for the Environment Court to have capacity. The time frame for bringing them into force therefore depends on the Environment Court's capacity. The enactments should not be repealed. |
| Ministry of Education | Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind Act 2002 (P) | s 27(2) | Repeals provisions in principal Act. |
| Ministry of Justice | Sentencing Amendment Act 2007 | ss 5, 6(1), 12, 15, 45, 46, 49(1) to (3), (5), and 52 to 54 | Departmental comment: Relates to the sentencing guidelines to be prepared by the Sentencing Council and changes to short-term prison sentences, and was intended to come into force on a date to be appointed by Order in Council. The Government has indicated it will not proceed with the establishment of the Sentencing Council and is therefore likely to repeal these amendments in due course. |
| Treasury | State-Owned Enterprises Amendment Act 1992 | ss 15 to 18 | Relates to MCS Limited. Departmental comment: Section 15: consolidated (by Income Tax Act 2004). Section 16: relates to MCS Ltd - specifically removing that company from Schedules 1 and 2 of the State-Owned Enterprises Act - this provision should be brought into force by Order in Council and we will be looking to do this in the next few months. Section 17: consolidated. Section 18: consolidated. |
| Treasury | State-Owned Enterprises (Meteorological Service of New Zealand Limited and Vehicle Testing New Zealand Limited) Amendment Act 1999 | s 3 | Relates to sale of Meteorological Service of New Zealand Limited. Departmental comment: Relates to Meteorological Service of NZ Ltd - specifically removing that company from Schedules 1 and 2 of the State-Owned Enterprises Act and from various other Acts - pre-requisite from some of those provisions not met as Crown still 100% shareholder - this company is still to be an SOE. |
| Ministry of Justice | Summary Proceedings Amendment Act 1976 | s 3 | Departmental comment: Relates to summary procedure for minor offences and will come into force on a date to be appointed by Order in Council. Subsequent amendments to s 20A of the principal Act have, however, rendered s 3 unnecessary. The Ministry of Justice will therefore provide for the repeal of s 3 of the proposed Criminal Procedure Bill which, it is anticipated, will be introduced to Parliament early in 2010. |
| Ministry of Transport | Transport (Vehicle and Driver Registration and Licensing) Act 1986 | s 12 | Relates to trailer licences. Departmental comment: Section 12 of the Transport (Vehicle and Driver Registration and Licensing) Act will not be brought into force. The Act will be repealed in 2010 when the remainder of the Land Transport Amendment Act 2009 comes into force. |
| Department of Conservation | Wildlife Amendment Act 1996 | s 6 | Relates to s 22A of principal Act. |
