Animal Welfare Act 1999

Miscellaneous provisions - Transitional provisions

190: Transitional provision relating to branch and member societies

You could also call this:

"Rules for groups helping choose animal welfare inspectors"

If you are part of a group that is a branch or member of the Royal New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, you can recommend people to be inspectors or auxiliary officers. You can do this through the Royal New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which is an approved organisation. You can recommend people for appointment under section 124 as inspectors or under section 125 as auxiliary officers.

If someone is appointed as an inspector or auxiliary officer because of your recommendation, your group is considered an approved organisation for certain parts of the Animal Welfare Act. This applies while your group is still a branch or member of the Royal New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Royal New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is still an approved organisation. It also applies while the person you recommended is still working as an inspector or auxiliary officer, and this affects how certain parts of the Act, such as sections 53(2)(a), 101(6), 126(2), 127(6)(a), 133(3)(a), 141, 142, 171, and 172, work.
