"Changes to the law about prostitution to update rules and jobs"

This section changes the Prostitution Reform Act 2003. You can find the Prostitution Reform Act 2003 on the New Zealand legislation website. It updates who can do certain jobs, like an issuing officer, as defined in the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. The Search and Surveillance Act 2012 has rules that apply to search warrants, and these rules now also apply to some warrants in the Prostitution Reform Act 2003.

Some parts of the Prostitution Reform Act 2003 are being removed, such as sections 31 to 33. The changes also update what happens when a warrant is issued, by using rules from the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. You can find more information about the Search and Surveillance Act 2012 on the New Zealand legislation website.
