294: Amendments to Radiation Protection Act 1965

You could also call this:

"Changes to the law that protects people from radiation"

The law is changing the Radiation Protection Act 1965. You can find the Radiation Protection Act 1965 on the New Zealand legislation website. This change affects how some things are done under this Act, and it uses some rules from the Search and Surveillance Act 2012.

When someone wants to do something under this Act, they need to apply to an issuing officer, who is someone with the power to make decisions about searches and surveillance, as defined in section 3 of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. The issuing officer will decide if they can do it, and they must follow the rules in subpart 3 of Part 4 of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012.

Some parts of the Radiation Protection Act 1965 are being replaced with new rules from the Search and Surveillance Act 2012, including Part 4 and sections 118 and 119, but these only apply to police officers.
