239: Amendments to Electricity Industry Act 2010

You could also call this:

"Changes to the Electricity Industry Act 2010 to work with the Search and Surveillance Act 2012"

This section changes the Electricity Industry Act 2010. You can find the Electricity Industry Act 2010 on the New Zealand legislation website. The change is to section 47, which now says an issuing officer can make a decision, not a District Court Judge or Justice. The issuing officer must follow the rules in the Search and Surveillance Act 2012 when making the decision.

Some parts of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012 now apply to the Electricity Industry Act 2010. You can find these parts in Part 4 of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012, but not sections 118 and 119. These changes help the two laws work together.
