The law is changing some parts of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 1989. You need to know what an issuing officer is, it means someone who can issue a warrant, as explained in the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. The changes are about who can issue warrants and how they are issued.

Some sections of the law are being amended, which means they are being changed. You will see changes to section 66I and section 106. These changes are about how warrants are issued and who can issue them.

The law is also repealing some sections, which means they are being removed. Section 66J is being repealed. Some parts of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012 will now apply to the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 1989.
