31: Requirements before appointment

You could also call this:

"Things you must do before you can join a statutory entity"

Illustration for Crown Entities Act 2004

Before you are appointed as a member of a statutory entity, you must do a few things. You must agree in writing to be a member and say that you are not disqualified from being a member. You must also tell the responsible Minister about any interests you have that relate to the entity, including how much they are worth if you can put a price on them.

If you do not tell the responsible Minister about your interests, the board of the entity must let them know as soon as they find out. The board must do this as soon as possible after they become aware that you did not follow the rules.

You have to follow these rules so you can be a member of a statutory entity.
