Part 2 Charities Act 2005 Part 2 amends the Charities Act 2005.
Clause 6 amends the definition of officer in section 4(1) so that the officers of a society or an institution always include a person who is in a position to exercise significant influence over the entity’s man- agement or administration (in addition to the members of any board or governing body of the entity).
Clause 7 amends the definition of charitable purpose in section 5(2) to include the purpose of an entity that promotes sport if the purpose is expressed to be, and is in fact, the means by which a charitable pur- pose (such as the promotion of health or education) will be achieved.
Clauses 8, 9, and 10 amend sections 17, 24, and 27 (respectively) to distinguish between matters now prescribed by the Charities Com- mission (the Commission) and matters still prescribed by regulations made under the principal Act.

Clause 11 amends section 40(1) by adding the requirement for a char- itable entity to notify the Commission of a change that disqualifies an officer of the entity from being an officer.
Section 40(2) is amended to recognise that certain forms and requirements are now prescribed by the Commission.

Clause 12 amends section 41(2) to also recognise that certain forms and requirements are now prescribed by the Commission.

The Commission may prescribe a form or requirement only for certain purposes and must satisfy certain publication and consultation requirements.

Clauses 14 and 15 amend sections 44(3) and 45(2) (respectively) to recognise that certain forms and requirements are now prescribed by the Commission.

Part 3 Citizens Initiated Referenda Act 1993 Part 3 amends the Citizens Initiated Referenda Act 1993.

Clause 23 substitutes section 26A(6).

Section 26A makes provision for the writ for an indicative referendum to be conducted by postal voting.
The Governor-General issues the writ to the Electoral Com- mission, requiring the Commission to conduct the referendum by postal voting, and to return the writ, endorsed with the result, after the referendum has been completed.

New section 26A(6) ensures that the latest date for the return of the writ is after the last day on which votes may be returned by post.

Clause 24 inserts new subsections (5A) and (5B) into section 39 of the principal Act.
These provide that, where the voting period for an indicative referendum conducted by postal voting is extended under the Referenda (Postal Voting) Act 2000, the Electoral Commission may postpone the return of the writ until after the end of the extended voting period.

4 Statutes Amendment Bill (No 2) Explanatory note Part 4 Civil Defence Emergency Management Act 2002 Part 4 amends the Civil Defence Emergency Management Act 2002.
Clause 26 amends section 12, which requires local authorities to es- tablish Civil Defence Emergency Management Groups.

The amend- ment specifies that clause 30(5) and (7) of Schedule 7 of the Local Government Act 2002 must not be read as permitting the discharge or reconstitution of a Civil Defence Emergency Management Group.

Clause 27 amends section 68, which provides for the declaration of a state of local emergency by authorised persons.
The amendment clarifies that declarations for areas displace declarations for districts or wards within those areas and that declarations for districts displace declarations for wards within those districts.

Clause 28 amends section 69, which provides for the declaration of a state of local emergency by the Minister.
The amendment clarifies that declarations for areas displace declarations for districts or wards within those areas and that declarations for districts displace declar- ations for wards within those districts.

Clause 29 substitutes new section 70, which provides for the com- mencement and duration of a state of emergency.

Clause 30 substitutes new section 71, which provides for the com- mencement and duration of an extension of a state of emergency.
Clause 31 amends section 72, which provides for the termination of a state of emergency.

The amendment clarifies that a state of emer- gency terminates when a declaration of termination is made.

Clause 32 amends clause 6 of Part A of Schedule 1.

The amendment changes “Lyttleton” to “Lyttelton”.

Clause 33 consequentially amends a number of declaration forms set out in Schedule 2 of the Civil Defence Emergency Management Regulations 2003.

Part 5 Companies Act 1993 Part 5 amends the Companies Act 1993.
Clause 35 amends section 241 to clarify that the court can consider an application to appoint a liquidator in respect of a company that has Explanatory note Statutes Amendment Bill (No 2) 5 been removed from the New Zealand register.

However, the com- pany must be restored to the register before or at the same time as the court appoints a liquidator.
This amendment addresses practical dif- ficulties in applying liquidation processes to companies no longer on the register, which arose after the repeal of section 327 by section 4 of the Companies Amendment Act 2007.

Clause 36 amends section 360 by repealing subsections (2) and (3).

Subsection (2) allows the register of companies to be divided into dif- ferent parts and kept in different places in New Zealand.
Subsection (3) requires the overseas register to be kept at a place in New Zealand determined by the Registrar.

These subsections are redundant now that the registers are kept in electronic form.

Clause 37 repeals section 361, which allows the Registrar to direct the physical transfer of records from one place in New Zealand to another.

This section is redundant now that the register of companies and records relating to companies are kept in electronic form.
Part 6 Crimes Act 1961 Part 6 amends the Crimes Act 1961.

Clause 39 amends clause 1(3), which indexes the sections contained in each Part of the principal Act.

The amendments update the index to identify correctly the section numbers that are currently contained in each Part.

Part 7 Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act 2009 Part 7 amends the Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act 2009.
Clause 41 updates the definition of lawyer in section 5 to refer to the definition of lawyer in the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006.

Clause 42 amends section 33, which sets out the process for applica- tions for further orders associated with restraining orders.

The effect of the amendment is to require an applicant for a further order to serve a copy of the application on the Official Assignee.
Currently, a copy of an application for a restraining order must be served on the Official Assignee, but there is no similar requirement in relation to applications for further orders.

6 Statutes Amendment Bill (No 2) Explanatory note Clause 43 amends section 87 to include reference to foreign restrain- ing orders.

Section 87 currently allows the Official Assignee to re- cover costs incurred in taking custody and control of property under a restraining order, forfeiture order, or foreign forfeiture order.
The effect of this amendment is to enable the Official Assignee to recover costs incurred in taking custody and control of property under a for- eign restraining order.

Clause 44 amends section 91, which provides a definition of Com- missioner for the purposes of subpart 6 of Part 2.

The amendment replaces “functions and powers” with “powers, functions, or duties” for consistency with the changes proposed by clauses 46 and 47.
Clause 45 amends the heading above section 96 by replacing the words functions or powers with powers, functions, or duties.

Clause 46 repeals and replaces section 96.

Section 96 provides that the provisions of the Police Act 1958 relating to the delegation of functions or powers of the Commissioner apply to the functions and powers of the Commissioner under this Act.
It is necessary to update this section and to ensure that it corresponds appropriately to section 17 of the Policing Act 2008, which enables the delegation of powers, functions, or duties of the Commissioner.

Clause 47 amends section 105(1) by removing both references to “or any member of the police”.

Those words are removed because the civil forfeiture regime in the Act is intended to be enforced by the Commissioner and his or her nominated delegates.
The effect of clauses 48 and 49 is to relocate the heading above sec- tion 107.

The correct location is directly above section 106.

Clause 50 amends section 107(3)(c) and (d) by substituting “notice” with “order”.

The references to “notice” are incorrect because section 107(3) is about the order that the Judge may make.

Clause 51 amends section 116(2)(b), which requires warrants issued under section 102 or 108 to be directed to the Commissioner and every member of the police.
The words “every member of the police” are removed because the warrants issued under those sections are part of the civil forfeiture regime (which is intended to be enforced by the Commissioner and his or her nominated delegates).

Clause 52 corrects an incorrect section reference in section 138.

Clause 53 corrects an oversight in section 159(3).


Section 159(1) provides that the duty to provide information under section 105 (pro- Explanatory note Statutes Amendment Bill (No 2) 7 duction orders) or 107 (examination orders) overrides every enact- ment or rule of law that obliges any person to maintain secrecy in relation to, or not to disclose, any matter.
However, section 159(3) provides that the duty to disclose the information is subject to section 160 (legal professional privilege) and exemptions for certain statu- tory officers in section 162.

Section 159(3) is incomplete because it should also include reference to section 161, which protects privilege in relation to tax advice.

Section 159(3) is corrected to incorporate the exception relating to tax advice.
Clause 54 updates a reference in section 160(4) to the Law Practition- ers Act 1982 to the appropriate provision in the Lawyers and Con- veyancers Act 2006 and amends section 160(7) as a consequence of the new definition of lawyer.

Clause 55 updates a cross-reference in section 207 to the appropriate provision in the High Court Rules.

Part 8 Domestic Violence Act 1995 Part 8 amends the Domestic Violence Act 1995.
Clause 57 amends section 124A, which is the interpretation provision for Part 6A (Police safety orders).

A definition of District Court is inserted so that the Court’s jurisdiction may be exercised by Justices of the Peace and Community Magistrates.

A definition of Registrar is also added.

Clause 58 amends section 124L to clarify that it applies where a per- son has been served with a Police safety order and refuses or fails to comply with the order or any condition of the order.
A Police safety order does not come into force until it is served on the person against whom it is issued (section 124K).

Clauses 59 and 60 amend sections 124M and 124O respectively, to provide that a Registrar or Deputy Registrar may issue warrants under these sections.

Clause 61 makes consequential amendments to the Domestic Vio- lence (General) Regulations 1996.

Forms 2, 5, and 6 of the Schedule are amended to include a Registrar and Deputy Registrar as appro- priate signatories.
8 Statutes Amendment Bill (No 2) Explanatory note Part 9 Judicature Act 1908 Part 9 amends the Judicature Act 1908.

The amendments relate to section 26I, which authorises Associate Judges of the High Court to exercise certain powers of the court.

Clause 63(1) repeals, because it is now redundant, section 26I(1)(b), which gives an Associate Judge the court’s jurisdiction and powers in respect of an application to stay, or dismiss, an application for the appointment of a liquidator.
When, on 6 November 1986, the Ju- dicature Amendment Act 1986 inserted section 26I(1)(b), it did not overlap with section 26I(2), since section 26I(2) did not then men- tion enactments that empower the court to appoint a liquidator.

But the section 26I(2)(e) substituted on 1 July 1994 by the Judicature Amendment Act 1994 gave an Associate Judge all the jurisdiction and powers vested in the court, or a Judge of the court, by Part 16 (liquidations) of the Companies Act 1993.
That Part includes section 241, which empowers the court to appoint a liquidator.

New section 241(2)(c)(viii) and (2A) of the Companies Act 1993, to be added and inserted by clause 35, will also provide for the court to appoint a li- quidator of a company that has been removed from (but when the appointment is made is restored to) the New Zealand register.
As to staying, or dismissing, an application, section 26I(3) gives an Asso- ciate Judge all the court’s jurisdiction and powers to deal with matters incidental to matters over which an Associate Judge has jurisdiction under section 26I(2)(e).

Section 26IA also gives an Associate Judge, in all proceedings properly before the Associate Judge, jurisdiction to make any order or to exercise any authority or jurisdiction (except one in section 26J(3) or (4)) that a Judge of the court might make or exercise.
Clause 63(2) amends section 26I(2)(e).

The amendment gives an Associate Judge all the court’s jurisdiction and powers under sec- tion 329 of the Companies Act 1993.

That section empowers the court to order that a company that has been removed from the New Zealand register be restored to the register.

Part 10 Limited Partnerships Act 2008 Part 10 amends the Limited Partnerships Act 2008.
Explanatory note Statutes Amendment Bill (No 2) 9 Clause 65 amends section 4 to repeal the definitions of Deputy Regis- trar and Registrar and substitute a new definition of Registrar.
The amendment clarifies that, in accordance with section 357(2) of the Companies Act 1993, a Deputy Registrar of Companies has and may exercise the powers, and has and may carry out the duties and func- tions, of the Registrar of Companies under the Limited Partnerships Act 2008, subject to the control of the Registrar of Companies.

Clause 66 amends section 79(2) to remove a reference to the Deputy Registrar that is redundant as a consequence of the substituted defin- ition of Registrar in section 4.
Part 11 Marriage Act 1955 Part 11 amends the Marriage Act 1955.

Clause 68 substitutes a new section 41 to enable any person (whether or not a New Zealand citizen) who intends to marry outside New Zealand to apply to the Registrar-General for a certificate that states that there is no lawful impediment to the marriage.

The certificate is no longer to be a prescribed form.

Clause 69 makes consequential amendments to the Marriage (Forms) Regulations 1995.
Part 12 Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters Act 1992 Part 12 amends the Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters Act 1992.

Clause 71 repeals section 58(2)(d) as a consequence of the enactment of section 136(1)(b) of the Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act 2009.

A foreign restraining order must be registered in New Zealand to have effect in New Zealand.
Section 136(1) of the Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act 2009 determines the duration of a registered foreign restraining order in relation to a list of key dates in the life of the order.

The date that the order expires is the earliest of those dates.

One of the key dates is the date that is the end of 2 years after the date on which the order is registered in New Zealand (section 136(1)(b)).
Section 58(2) of the principal Act describes when the Attorney-Gen- eral may give a direction to the Commissioner of Police to apply to 10 Statutes Amendment Bill (No 2) Explanatory note the High Court to cancel the registration of a foreign restraining order or a foreign forfeiture order.

In particular, section 58(2)(d) provides that a direction may be given, in the case of a foreign restraining order, if 1 year has passed since the foreign country made the for- eign restraining order.
This particular provision should have been, but was not, repealed as a consequence of the enactment of section 136(1)(b) of the Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act 2009.

Part 13 New Zealand Railways Corporation Act 1981 Part 13 amends the New Zealand Railways Corporation Act 1981.

Clause 73 amends section 4, which establishes the New Zealand Rail- ways Corporation (the Corporation).

Section 4(2) currently pro- vides that the Corporation consists of up to 7 directors appointed by the Minister.
The effect of the amendment is to allow up to 9 direct- ors to be appointed.

The Corporation needs additional directors to manage the increased workload associated with a 10-year turnaround plan, which involves the Corporation investing $4.6 billion in its as- sets.

Part 14 New Zealand Superannuation and Retirement Income Act 2001 Part 14 amends the New Zealand Superannuation and Retirement Income Act 2001.

Clause 75 adds a new section 9(3).


Section 9(1) requires that no ac- count be taken of certain periods of absence in determining when a person is present in New Zealand for the purpose of the residen- tial qualifications for New Zealand superannuation.

Section 9(1)(d) refers to absences while serving as an accredited volunteer appointed by Volunteer Service Abroad Incorporated.
The amendment arises from the name of Volunteer Service Abroad not being stated accurately in section 9(1)(d) when it was enacted, and also not being stated accurately in its predecessor sections, being section 4(2)(d) of the Social Welfare (Transitional Provisions) Act 1990 and section 14(2)(e) of the Social Security Act 1964.

Volunteer Explanatory note Statutes Amendment Bill (No 2) 11 Service Abroad also changed its name on 12 April 2007 to Te Tuao Tawahi: Volunteer Service Abroad Incorporated.
The new section 9(3) requires the reference to Volunteer Service Abroad Incorporated in section 9(1)(d) to be read for all purposes relating to the operation of section 9(1)(d) on and after 12 October 2001, and despite any later changes to that body’s name, as a refer- ence to the body incorporated under the Incorporated Societies Act 1908 on 8 April 1963 as Volunteer Service Abroad Inc.
The amend- ment ensures that section 9(1)(d) applies, and has always applied, to the body to which it is, and has always been, intended to apply, de- spite any changes after 11 October 2001 to that body’s name.

Clause 76 inserts a new section 79A.


New section 79A requires the references to Volunteer Service Abroad Incorporated in 2 predecessor sections similarly to be read, for all purposes related to the operation of those provisions, as references to the body incorporated under the Incorporated Societies Act 1908 on 8 April 1963 as Volunteer Service Abroad Inc. Part 15 Public Finance Act 1989 Part 15 amends the Public Finance Act 1989.
Clauses 78 to 81 amend sections 13(1), 26I(2), 26O(2), and 39(1) respectively.

Each of those sections specifies that the Minister must present the particular documents referred to in each of those sections to the House of Representatives immediately after he or she has de- livered the Budget for the relevant financial year.
In order to provide greater flexibility, clauses 78 to 81 amend those sections so that they require the relevant documents to be presented at that time or at any time prior to that time on the same day.

Clause 82 amends section 75, which concerns the Minister of Fi- nance’s power to exercise powers relating to bona vacantia.

It pro- vides a permanent legislative appropriation in relation to the transfer or disposal of property or a right, and the spending of public money, in accordance with section 75(1).
This means that a separate appro- priation will not be required every time the Minister performs an act under section 75(1).

12 Statutes Amendment Bill (No 2) Explanatory note Part 16 Social Security Act 1964 Part 16 amends the Social Security Act 1964.

Clause 84 corrects a drafting error in section 74A(1A) (as substituted by section 406(1) and Schedule 3 of the Immigration Act 2009).
That section generally prevents a person who is unlawfully resident or present in New Zealand, or lawfully resident or present by virtue of holding a temporary entry class visa, from receiving a benefit under the principal Act.

However, in the circumstances set out in section 74A(1A), the chief executive may grant the person an emergency benefit or temporary additional support, or may continue a special benefit already granted.

The drafting error relates to the use of the word “or” where it first appears.
The amendment repeals section 74A(1A) and substitutes new subsec- tions (1A) and (1B).

The effect of the new subsections is to clarify that the chief executive may take either or both of the following actions in those circumstances: • • grant the person an emergency benefit: grant the person temporary additional support, or continue a special benefit already granted to the person.
Part 17 Sugar Loaf Islands Marine Protected Area Act 1991 Part 17 amends the Sugar Loaf Islands Marine Protected Area Act 1991.

Clause 86 amends section 7(2) to correct a spelling error in the name of an island.

Part 18 Trade Marks Act 2002 Part 18 amends the Trade Marks Act 2002.

Clause 88 amends section 44(1) to create more certainty about when the Commissioner will treat as abandoned an application to register a trade mark.
Explanatory note Statutes Amendment Bill (No 2) 13 Part 19 Wild Animal Control Act 1977 Part 19 amends the Wild Animal Control Act 1977.

Clauses 90 and 91 amend a definition in section 2(1) and amend sec- tion 12(5)(a) (respectively) to correct a spelling error in the name of an animal.

Part 20 Wills Act 2007 Part 20 amends the Wills Act 2007.

Clause 93 amends section 11 (which specifies requirements for validity of wills) as from its commencement on 1 November 2007.
New subsections (3) to (6) are substituted to ensure that— • a will-maker need not actually sign his or her will in the pres- ence of witnesses, but may acknowledge in the presence of witnesses that he or she signed the will earlier and that the sig- nature on the will is his or her own: a witness need not include a statement of his or her attestation, but statements of this kind made by at least 2 witnesses are evidence of the will’s valid execution.

• Clause 94 amends section 40(2).
New paragraphs (k), (l), and (n) are substituted to ensure that, for wills made before 1 November 2007 of persons who die after the commencement of Part 20, the follow- ing sections apply: • section 14, which empowers the High Court to declare valid a document that appears to be a will that does not comply with section 11 (which specifies requirements for validity of wills) and that came into existence in or out of New Zealand: section 15(d), which ensures that a change to all, or to part of, a valid will is a valid change if the change is declared valid under section 14: section 16(h), which ensures that a revocation of all, or of part of, a valid will is a valid revocation if the revocation is declared valid under section 14.
• • Clause 95 inserts a new section 40A on the application of Part 20.

New section 40A(1) and (2) ensure that the enactments substituted by Part 20 apply, instead of the enactments repealed by it, in making 14 Statutes Amendment Bill (No 2) Explanatory note after the commencement of Part 20 a determination whether a docu- ment is, or can and is to be declared by order of the High Court to be, a valid will.
But new section 40A(3) ensures that nothing in, or in an enactment substituted or inserted by, Part 20 affects the validity or consequences of a grant of administration (as defined in section 2(1) of the Administration Act 1969) made before the commencement of Part 20.
