Illustration for Search and Surveillance Act 2012

The law is changing some parts of the Fisheries Act 1996. You will see changes to sections 200 to 207 of this Act. These changes are related to the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. Some words are being replaced in section 200 of the Fisheries Act 1996. You will now see 'an issuing officer' instead of other titles like Justice or District Court Judge. This is because of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. The way a fishery officer applies for authorisation is also changing. You will now follow the same process as applying for a search warrant under the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. Other parts of the Fisheries Act 1996 are being updated to match the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. Some sections are being repealed and replaced with new information. You can find more information about this in the Search and Surveillance Act 2012, which you can find on the New Zealand legislation website. The changes are to sections 205, 206, and 207 of the Fisheries Act 1996.
