111: Director-General may impose or vary conditions of recognition

You could also call this:

"The Director-General can add or change rules for recognised agencies, people, or groups."

The Director-General can add conditions when they recognise an agency, person, or group under sections 101 to 105. You can find these sections by following the link to sections 101 to 105. The Director-General can also change these conditions.

The Director-General can change conditions by telling the agency or person in writing, or by notifying a group in accordance with section 112W. Before making changes, the Director-General must talk to the agency, person, or group about the proposed changes, unless they are part of the Ministry.

If someone acting for the Director-General changes a condition, you can ask for a review under section 162. The Director-General can add new conditions, remove old ones, or change existing ones, which is what they mean by "vary".

Recognition process

111Director-General may impose or vary conditions of recognition

The Director-General may impose any conditions the Director-General thinks fit when he or she recognises an agency, a person, or a class of persons under any of sections 101 to 105.
The Director-General may vary any conditions by, as appropriate,—
giving a recognised agency or a recognised person written notice of the variation; or
notifying a recognised class of the variation in accordance with section 112W.

However, before varying a condition the Director-General must consult the recognised agency, recognised person, or recognised class in accordance with section 112X about the proposed variation, unless the agency is, or is within, the Ministry or the person is within the Ministry.
If a person acting under the delegated authority of the Director-General varies a condition, the recognised agency, the recognised person, or a member of the recognised class to whom the condition applies may seek a review of the variation under section 162.
Subsections (3) and (4) do not apply if the variation is made on the application of the recognised agency, recognised person, or recognised class in accordance with the terms of that application.
In this section, vary means—
to impose additional conditions; or
to revoke or amend any conditions.
