Plain language law

New Zealand law explained for everyone

This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Arms Bill

General requirements - Requirements for possession of restricted firearms, restricted magazines, restricted parts, and restricted ammunition - Requirements for possession of restricted magazines

35: Exception for employees of animal and biosecurity controllers sharing possession of restricted magazines

You could also call this:

"Some animal and biosecurity workers can share restricted magazines for a short time."

Illustration for Arms Bill

If you are an employee who works for someone who controls animals or biosecurity, you might not have to follow the usual rules about having restricted magazines. You must be part of a special agreement that says you can share restricted magazines with other employees. You can only have the restricted firearm for 7 days or less.
