Amendment Paper

Regulatory Standards Bill

Proposed amendment

Francisco Hernandez, in Committee, to move the following amendment:

Clause 38

Replace clause 38(5) (page 21, lines 16 to 18) with:

(5)

The Minister may only recommend the appointment of a person who—

(a)

is a New Zealand citizen or a permanent resident (as defined in section 4 of the Immigration Act 2009); and

(b)

in the Minister’s opinion, has the appropriate knowledge, skills, and experience to assist the board to perform its functions.

Explanatory note

This Amendment Paper amends clause 38(5) of the Regulatory Standards Bill so that only New Zealand citizens or permanent residents are able to serve on the Regulatory Standards Board. This will safeguard the integrity of New Zealand’s regulatory framework from potential foreign interference from nations and corporations.
