This Amendment Paper amends the Land Transport Management (Time of Use Charging) Amendment Bill (the Bill) to provide, in new section 65ZGA, that the Agency may set technical specifications relating to data and security for the interaction of time of use charging schemes with the Agency’s systems for billing and collecting time of use charges. The Amendment Paper amends new section 65W to require a scheme board to monitor the compliance of a time of use charging scheme with those technical specifications relating to data and security and new section 65ZG(2) to require the Agency to make details of those specifications available, free of charge, on its internet site.

Separately, this Amendment Paper amends the Bill to—

• clarify, for the purposes of new section 65S, that establishment costs include any costs relating to the establishment of a scheme board under new section 65U(2):

• clarify, in new section 65S, that revenue from a time of use charging scheme can be used to repay certain costs of that scheme paid from the national land transport fund provided that those costs have been approved as an activity in a national land transport programme under section 20 of the principal Act:

• provide, in new section 65UB, that the Agency must reach agreement with the local authority members of the scheme on any proportion of establishment costs to be incurred by the Agency under new section 65D.

This Amendment Paper also makes 2 technical amendments to the Bill to—

• clarify, in new section 65U, that a scheme board is not responsible for directing the enforcement of a time of use charging scheme, as enforcement is the responsibility of the scheme’s enforcement authorities; and

• correct a minor error in new section 65X(3)(a).
