307: Other amendments to Waste Minimisation Act 2008

You could also call this:

"Changes to the Waste Minimisation Act 2008 to update rules about warrants and searches."

The law is changing some parts of the Waste Minimisation Act 2008. You will see changes to how some things are done, like who can issue a warrant and how it is applied for. When someone wants to get a warrant, they have to ask an issuing officer, which is a term from the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. They have to ask in the same way they would for a search warrant, as outlined in subpart 3 of Part 4 of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012.

Some parts of the law are being replaced or removed, like section 83. Other parts are being updated, like section 84(1) and the heading to section 85. You will also see changes to section 85(1), which now includes the words "seized or impounded under section 81".

When an enforcement officer is executing a warrant, they must be with a police officer. The rules for search warrants, as outlined in Part 4 of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012, will apply to warrants issued under this law, except for sections 118 and 119.
