This law changes the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996. You can find the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996 on the New Zealand legislation website. It updates some parts of the law to match the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. The law says who can issue a warrant and how they can do it. It uses the rules from the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. You can find the Search and Surveillance Act 2012 on the New Zealand legislation website. Some parts of the old law are removed or replaced. This helps make the law clearer and easier to follow. It also helps make sure the law is fair and works well.
