No 255 House of Representatives Supplementary Order Paper Thursday, 8 December 2016 Hurunui/Kaikōura Earthquakes Recovery Bill Proposed amendments for the consideration of the Committee of the whole House Key: • • this is inserted text this is deleted text Note: This Supplementary Order Paper shows amendments to the Bill that are being proposed by the Minister for the purposes of consideration in Committee of the whole House.
This document does— • • NOT have official status in terms of unamended text NOT have the status of an as-reported version of the Bill.

214—1/SOP No 255 1 Proposed amendments to Hurunui/Kaikōura Earthquakes Recovery Bill SOP No 255 Explanatory note This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Hurunui/Kaikōura Earthquakes Recov- ery Bill.
In summary, the amendments— • • • • • • • • • • • • clarify the purpose of the Bill in clause 3: remove the ability to extend the definition of council by Order in Council: require a relevant Minister, in the case of an order relating to the Resource Management Act 1991, to consider certain matters: clarify the time-frame within which the Regulations Review Committee (or party leaders) must provide comments under clause 8(1)(d)(ii): require a draft order provided to the Panel and to the Regulations Review Com- mittee (or party leaders) to be accompanied by a draft of the relevant Minister’s reasons for a recommendation, including why the draft order is appropriate (new clause 8(1A)): clarify that, except as provided in clause 8(3), nothing in the Bill prevents a court from determining whether an order is authorised by the Bill.
A similar change is made in clause 16(7): provide for engagement about a proposal for an order in clause 8A: modify the provisions relating to the appointment of the Panel.

Instead of ap- pointing members that represent iwi or local government, the Minister must consider whether a potential member has knowledge, skills, or experience in certain areas (for example, mātauranga Māori and tikanga Māori, environmen- tal protection, and the nature of the affected communities).
In addition, the Minister must have regard to the views of Local Government New Zealand and organisations that the Minister considers have knowledge, skills, or experience relating to mātauranga Māori and tikanga Māori in the earthquake-affected area (new clause 11(1) to (1B)).
In addition, the Panel must include a former or re- tired Judge of the High Court (rather than just a lawyer): modify clause 13(2) so that the time allowed for the review of an order by the Panel is set by the relevant Minister rather than the Minister: modify clause 15(1)(a).

This provision provides that an order may not be held invalid just because it is, or authorises any act or omission that is, inconsistent with any other enactment.
This has been narrowed to refer only to enactments referred to in Schedule 2: insert new clause 15A.

This applies if a court determines that an order is not authorised by the Bill.

In that case, an action taken under, or in reliance on, the order before the determination is made must be treated as valid and effective to the extent that it would have been had the order been authorised.
However, this does not apply if the court orders otherwise: modify the process for adding Acts by Order in Council in clause 16.

A draft of the order must be provided to the leaders of political parties represented in Par- liament and the Minister must be satisfied that there is unanimous or near 214—1/SOP No 255 3 SOP No 255 Hurunui/Kaikōura Earthquakes Recovery Bill Proposed amendments to • • • • • unanimous support for the order.
The ability to add local authorities to the ap- plication of the Act has been removed from clause 16: insert new clause 19A to provide for 6-monthly reports on the operation of the Bill to be presented to the House of Representatives: include a transitional provision in Schedule 1 so that orders relating to local government administration (for example, rates and rating valuations) can con- tinue until 30 June 2021 (see also the consequential changes to clauses 14 and 20): include a transitional provision in Schedule 1 to treat actions taken by a rele- vant Minister before commencement of the Bill for the purposes of engage- ment under clause 8A to be valid (to allow the engagement to be undertaken more quickly): include a transitional provision in Schedule 1 to treat actions taken by the Min- ister before commencement of the Bill for the purposes of Panel appointments to be valid (to allow the Panel to be set up more quickly): remove various Acts from the application of the Bill (in particular, the Cadas- tral Survey Act 2002, the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996, the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011, the Waste Mini- misation Act 2008, the Education Act 1989, and the Health Act 1956).
In add- ition, the paragraph relating to financial reporting does not include reporting under the Public Finance Act 1989.

Departmental disclosure statement The Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet considers that a departmental dis- closure statement is not required to be prepared for this Supplementary Order Paper.
