Supplementary Order Paper No 247 (released 10 June 2019) – New Zealand Legislation
Supplementary Order Paper No 247
Proposed amendments to Oranga Tamariki Legislation Bill
This Supplementary Order Paper clarifies amendments to the Oranga Tamariki Act 1989 in Part 1 and Schedule 1 of the Oranga Tamariki Legislation Bill. The main changes that this Supplementary Order Paper makes are to—
amend clause 3A to insert definitions of non-Schedule 1A offence and Schedule 1A offence in section 2 of the Oranga Tamariki Act 1989:
amend clause 4B: new section 247A and clause 4G: new section 276AA to enable the prosecutor to seek a determination from the Youth Court that a charge is a related charge, instead of enabling a proposal to be notified:
replace new section 276AB(3) in clause 4G to clarify when section 138(1) to (3) of the Criminal Procedure Act 2011 does not apply to the hearing of a charge together with another charge:
amend clause 4H in relation to a proceeding that is transferred back to the Youth Court following a guilty plea or finding of guilt in the District Court or High Court. New section 276A(5) enables the Youth Court, in most circumstances, to treat the proceeding as if the charge had been proved before the Youth Court. This includes the circumstances in section 283 of the Oranga Tamariki Act 1989 and, consequently, clause 4J is deleted.
This Supplementary Order Paper also makes other technical amendments.
Oranga Tamariki—Ministry for Children considers that a departmental disclosure statement is not required to be prepared for this Supplementary Order Paper.
