Explanatory note

This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Securities Trustees and Statutory Supervisors Bill to—

include a specific commencement date (clause 2); and
remove a reference to clause 7, to ensure that an FMA appointee that holds a licence must comply with any conditions on the licence (clause 8A); and
omit subclause 37(5), because that subclause is unnecessary; and
replace the existing clause 60 with a new clause 60, to both clarify the temporary licence regime and include KiwiSaver trustees; and
insert new clause 60A (which will limit the application of the Bill in relation to existing KiwiSaver schemes) and new clause 60B (which will enable the FMA to grant exemptions); and
change references to “Commission” to “FMA”, to take account of the new Financial Markets Authority regime; and
include KiwiSaver schemes and the trustees of those schemes in this Bill; and
make minor drafting changes to improve consistency throughout the Bill and ensure consistency with the Financial Markets (Regulators and KiwiSaver) Act 2010, including the removal of clauses 51 to 55, which are unnecessary, given that the provisions in that Act will cover the matters currently dealt with in those clauses.
