10 Reprinted as at 18 November 2015 Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014 Part 1 s 7 4 (1) (2) Objective of Act The objective of this Act is to protect members of the public from the almost certain harm that would be inflicted by the commission of serious sexual or violent offences.

It is not an objective of this Act to punish persons against whom orders are made under this Act.
5 Principles Every person or court exercising a power under this Act must have regard to the following principles: (a) (b) (c) (d) orders under this Act are not imposed to punish persons and the previous commission of an offence is only 1 of several factors that are relevant to assessing whether there is a very high risk of imminent serious sexual or violent offending by a person: a public protection order should only be imposed if the magnitude of the risk posed by the respondent justifies the imposition of the order: a public protection order should not be imposed on a person who is eli- gible to be detained under the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act 1992 or the Intellectual Disability (Compulsory Care and Rehabilitation) Act 2003: persons who are detained in a residence under a public protection order should have as much autonomy and quality of life as possible, while en- suring the orderly functioning and safety within the residence.
6 Act binds the Crown This Act binds the Crown.
Subpart 2—Public protection orders Imposition of public protection orders 7 Threshold for imposition of public protection order (1) A person aged 18 years or older meets the threshold for the imposition of a public protection order if— (a) the person— (i) is detained in a prison under a determinate sentence for a serious sexual or violent offence; and (ii) must be released from detention not later than 6 months after the date on which the chief executive applies for a public protection order against the person; or (b) the person is subject to an extended supervision order and— 11 Part 1 s 7 Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014 Reprinted as at 18 November 2015 (c) (d) (i) (ii) is, or has been, subject to a condition of full-time accompaniment and monitoring imposed under section 107K of the Parole Act 2002; or is subject to a condition of long-term full-time placement in the care of an appropriate agency, person, or persons for the purposes of a programme under sections 15(3)(b) and 16(c) of the Parole Act 2002; or the person is subject to a protective supervision order; or the person— (i) has arrived in New Zealand within 6 months of ceasing to be sub- ject to any sentence, supervision conditions, or order imposed on the person for a serious sexual or violent offence by an overseas court; and (ii) has, since that arrival, been in New Zealand for less than 6 months; and (iii) resides or intends to reside in New Zealand; or (e) the person— (i) (ii) has committed a serious sexual or violent offence; and in respect of that offence,— (A) (B) has been determined to be a returning prisoner under the Returning Offenders (Management and Information) Act 2015; or is a returning offender to whom subpart 3 of Part 2 of that Act applies; and (iii) is subject to release conditions under the Returning Offenders (Management and Information) Act 2015.
For the purposes of this Act, a person meets the threshold for a public protec- tion order if the person meets the threshold at the time that the chief executive applies for that order against the person.
In this section, extended supervision order means an order imposed, whether before, on, or after the commencement of this section, under section 107I of the Parole Act 2002 on a person who was an eligible offender (within the meaning of section 107C(1) of that Act) because the person had been sentenced to im- prisonment for a relevant offence (within the meaning of that section) that is also a serious sexual or violent offence (within the meaning of section 3).
Section 7(1)(d)(iii): amended, on 18 November 2015, by section 36(2) of the Returning Offenders (Management and Information) Act 2015 (2015 No 112).

(2) (3) 12 Reprinted as at 18 November 2015 Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014 Part 1 s 11 8 (1) Chief executive may apply for public protection order The chief executive may apply to the court for a public protection order against a person who meets the threshold for such an order on the ground that there is a very high risk of imminent serious sexual or violent offending by the person.
(2) As soon as practicable after an application is made under subsection (1), the chief executive must advise every victim of the respondent that the application has been made.
9 Reports by health assessors The application under section 8 must be accompanied by at least 2 reports that— (a) have been separately prepared by health assessors, at least one of whom is a registered psychologist; and (b) address the questions whether— (i) (ii) the respondent exhibits to a high level each of the 4 characteristics described in section 13(2); and there is a very high risk of imminent serious sexual or violent of- fending by the respondent.
10 (1) (2) Right to independent expert assessment The court may, on its own initiative, direct a health assessor selected by the court to assess the respondent.

The respondent may request a health assessor selected by the respondent to as- sess the respondent.

(3) A health assessor who assesses a respondent in accordance with a direction or request under this section must prepare a report that addresses the questions stated in section 9(b).
(4) The report may also comment on the reports of health assessors that the chief executive has served on the respondent.

(5) Where the respondent has been granted legal aid for responding to the applica- tion for the public protection order, the fees and expenses of preparing the as- sessment report under this section must be met out of the grant of legal aid.

11 Issue of summons to attend hearing A Judge or the Registrar of the High Court may from time to time issue a sum- mons requiring the respondent to an application for a public protection order to attend at a specified date and time for the hearing of the application.
13 Part 1 s 12 Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014 Reprinted as at 18 November 2015 12 (1) (2) Assessment whether respondent mentally disordered or intellectually disabled This section applies where a court is satisfied that it could make a public pro- tection order against a respondent and it appears to the court that the respond- ent may be mentally disordered or intellectually disabled.
The court may, instead of making a public protection order, direct the chief executive to consider the appropriateness of an application in respect of the re- spondent under section 45 of the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act 1992 or under section 29 of the Intellectual Disability (Com- pulsory Care and Rehabilitation) Act 2003.
(3) Where the court gives a direction under subsection (2), the court must, if the respondent is not then detained under section 107, order the interim detention of the respondent under that section.
(4) For the purposes of any application under section 45 of the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act 1992 or under section 29 of the Intellectual Disability (Compulsory Care and Rehabilitation) Act 2003 made as a result of the consideration directed under subsection (2) and for any deter- mination arising out of such an application, the respondent is taken to be de- tained in a prison under an order of committal.
13 Court may make public protection order (1) After considering all of the evidence offered in a proceeding on an application for a public protection order, and, in particular, the evidence given by 2 or more health assessors, including at least 1 registered psychologist, the court may make a public protection order against the respondent if the court is satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that— (a) (b) the respondent meets the threshold for a public protection order; and there is a very high risk of imminent serious sexual or violent offending by the respondent if,— (i) where the respondent is detained in a prison, the respondent is re- leased from prison into the community; or (ii) in any other case, the respondent is left unsupervised.
(2) The court may not make a finding of the kind described in subsection (1)(b) unless satisfied that the respondent exhibits a severe disturbance in behavioural functioning established by evidence to a high level of each of the following characteristics: (a) (b) an intense drive or urge to commit a particular form of offending: limited self-regulatory capacity, evidenced by general impulsiveness, high emotional reactivity, and inability to cope with, or manage, stress and difficulties: 14 Reprinted as at 18 November 2015 Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014 Part 1 s 16 (c) absence of understanding or concern for the impact of the respondent’s offending on actual or potential victims (within the general sense of that term and not merely as defined in section 3): (d) poor interpersonal relationships or social isolation or both.
14 Notification of victims As soon as practicable after an application for a public protection order is de- termined or suspended, the chief executive must advise every victim of the re- spondent of the outcome of the application.
Review by review panel 15 Review of public protection order by review panel (1) During the currency of a public protection order, the review panel must review the continuing justification of the order— (a) (b) within 1 year after the order is made; and then— (i) (ii) within every succeeding year after the most recent previous re- view of the order by the review panel; but if an application (other than an application for leave) under sec- tion 16 or 17 is pending before the court, within 1 year after the date on which the application is determined or withdrawn.
(2) If the review panel considers that there may no longer be a very high risk of imminent serious sexual or violent offending by the person subject to the pub- lic protection order, the review panel may direct the chief executive to apply to the court for a review of the order under section 16.
(3) Where, in the case of a resident, the review panel does not give a direction under subsection (2), the review panel— (a) must review the management plan of the resident to ascertain whether the plan continues to be appropriate; and (b) may make any recommendations to the manager of the residence in which the resident is required to stay.
Review by court 16 Application by chief executive for review of public protection order (1) During the currency of a public protection order, the chief executive must apply to the court for a review of the continuing justification of the order— (a) (b) (c) within 5 years after the order is made; and then, within 5 years after the first review; and then, at intervals of not more than 5 years; and 15 Part 1 s 17 Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014 Reprinted as at 18 November 2015 (d) whenever the review panel directs the chief executive to apply.
(2) Despite subsection (1)(c), the court may direct that the chief executive apply for any subsequent reviews at intervals of not more than 10 years.

(3) For the purpose of calculating any period specified in subsection (1) or (2), if the court grants leave for an application under section 17, the period is suspen- ded until the application is determined or withdrawn.
(4) As soon as practicable after an application is made under subsection (1), the chief executive must advise every victim of the person subject to the public protection order that the application has been made.

17 Application for review by person subject to public protection order (1) A person who is subject to a public protection order may, with the leave of the court, apply to the court for a review of the order.
(2) As soon as practicable after an application is made under subsection (1), the chief executive must advise every victim of the person subject to the public protection order that the application has been made.
18 Review of public protection order (1) On a review of a public protection order, the court must be provided with all reports provided to the review panel and may call for any further or supple- mentary reports from any person, including, without limitation, from— (a) (b) (c) the chief executive: if the person subject to the order is required to stay in a residence, the manager of the residence: if the person subject to the order is detained in a prison, the manager of the prison: (d) any health assessor.
(2) (3) (4) The court must consider whether there still is a very high risk of imminent ser- ious sexual or violent offending by the person subject to the public protection order.

In its consideration under subsection (2), the court must take into account whether the reports provided to the court indicate that the person continues to exhibit a severe disturbance in behavioural functioning of the kind described in section 13(2).
If, following its consideration under subsection (2), the court is satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that there no longer is a very high risk of imminent serious sexual or violent offending by the person subject to the public protec- tion order, the court must make a finding to that effect.

(5) The chief executive must advise every victim of the person subject to the pub- lic protection order of the outcome of the review.
16 Reprinted as at 18 November 2015 Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014 Part 1 s 23 19 Review of management plan If, on a review of a public protection order relating to a resident, the court does not make a finding under section 18(4), the court— (a) must review the management plan of the resident to ascertain whether the plan continues to be appropriate; and (b) may make any recommendations to the manager of the residence in which the resident is required to stay.
Subpart 3—Status of residents 20 Detention of residents A resident must stay in the residence that the chief executive designates by written notice given to the resident and to the manager of that residence.

21 (1) (2) Legal custody of residents The chief executive has the legal custody of every resident.
Legal custody under subsection (1) of a resident commences as soon as a Judge pronounces an interim detention order or a public protection order and con- tinues while the resident— (a) (b) is detained in a residence; or is for any reason outside the residence under the control or supervision of any of the following persons who is acting under the authority of the Act: (i) (ii) (iii) the manager: a staff member of the residence: a corrections officer or Police employee acting under section 73(1).

(2) If the residence manager is satisfied that an item found in, or sent or delivered to, the residence, or found in the course of a search under section 63 or 64, is a prohibited item, the manager must take possession of, and retain, the item.
17 Part 1 s 24 Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014 Reprinted as at 18 November 2015 (3) The residence manager may deal with any item taken and retained under sub- section (2) as the manager considers appropriate, including by— (a) (b) giving it to the Police; or giving it to a person (other than a resident) who appears to be entitled to it; or (c) destroying it.
(4) This section does not apply to any item that is in the possession of, or that is delivered to, a resident who is permitted to possess the item in accordance with a permission given under rules made under section 119.
24 Transfers between residences A resident may be transferred, on the direction of the chief executive given after considering the advice of the manager of the residence and any other ad- vice the chief executive considers appropriate, from a residence to any other residence for 1 or more of the following reasons: (a) to ensure the safety of the resident or of other persons who are in, or who visit, the residence: (b) where the residence in which the resident lived has been destroyed or has become uninhabitable: (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) where the risk posed by the resident has lessened, to allow the resident to live in a residence with fewer restrictions: to place the resident in a residence closer to his or her family: to respond to the needs of that resident, as identified in the management plan: to facilitate medical or psychiatric care for the resident: to reduce the risk of self-harm by the resident if he or she is identified as being at risk: to reduce the risk to the resident if he or she is identified as being vulner- able to mistreatment by other residents: (i) to grant a request by a resident for a transfer.
Compare: 2004 No 50 s 54 25 Information to be given to residents about transfers (1) A resident must, at least 7 days before a proposed transfer, be informed of the location of the new residence to which the resident is to be transferred, and the reasons for the proposed transfer.
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply if— (a) there are reasonable grounds to believe the resident to be transferred will create a management difficulty before the transfer is made or as a result of the transfer; or 18 Reprinted as at 18 November 2015 Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014 Part 1 s 27 (b) the transfer is being made because there are reasonable grounds to be- lieve that the safety of the resident or others at the residence within which the resident currently resides is at risk.
If the resident has been transferred to a new residence without having been in- formed of the reasons beforehand, the resident must be informed of those rea- sons as soon as practicable after he or she is transferred to the new residence.
