193: Other amendments to Animal Products Act 1999

You could also call this:

"Changes to the Animal Products Act 1999 law"

The law about animal products is changing. You need to know what is happening to the Animal Products Act 1999. Some parts of the law are being repealed, which means they are being removed. For example, Section 92 is being repealed.

The law is also being amended, which means it is being changed. Section 94(1) is being amended to change who can issue a search warrant. Now, an issuing officer, as defined in the Search and Surveillance Act 2012, can issue a search warrant.

You should look at the changes to Section 94 to see what is happening. Some subsections are being repealed and new ones are being added. The new subsections talk about how the Search and Surveillance Act 2012 applies to search warrants.

Other parts of the law are also being changed. Section 95 is being amended to change what powers a constable or animal product officer has when executing a search warrant. Section 96 is being amended to repeal some subsections. Section 97 is being amended to change what happens to property that is seized under a search warrant. The Schedule is being repealed.
