This section changes the Radiocommunications Act 1989. You can find the Radiocommunications Act 1989 on the New Zealand legislation website. The changes affect who can make decisions and how they make them. Some parts of the Act are being removed or replaced with new rules from the Search and Surveillance Act 2012.

Some rules from the Search and Surveillance Act 2012 now apply to the Radiocommunications Act 1989. You can find these rules in Part 4 of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012, but not in sections 118 and 119. Other parts of the Radiocommunications Act 1989, like sections 121 to 127, are being removed.
