174: Transitional provision concerning inspectors, etc

You could also call this:

"Rules for inspectors when the Biosecurity Act 1993 first started"

When the Biosecurity Act 1993 started, you were already an inspector under other laws, such as the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries Act 1953, the Animals Act 1967, or the Plants Act 1970. You would then be considered an inspector under the Biosecurity Act 1993. This change happened on 30 September 1993.

If you were a noxious plants officer under the Noxious Plants Act 1978 at the close of 30 September 1993, you would be considered an authorised person under section 103(3). The same applies if you were an inspector under the Agricultural Pests Destruction Act 1967.

You would be deemed an authorised person by the principal officer who employed you at that time.
