Explanatory note
This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Dairy Industry Restructuring Amendment Bill (the Bill), which is a Bill that amends the Dairy Industry Restructuring Act 2001 (the Act).
This Supplementary Order Paper proposes 3 further amendments to the Act (new clauses 8A, 8B, and 20) that relate to independent processors to whom new co-op is required to supply raw milk in accordance with regulations made under section 115 of the Act.
New clause 8A amends section 115 of the Act, which is a regulation-making power relating to obligations concerning milk. The new provision—
amends the heading to section 115 to identify the provision as a regulation-making power; and
substitutes new section 115(1)(f) to authorise the making of regulations requiring new co-op and independent processors to provide periodic forecasts of milksolids expected to be collected from dairy farmers; and
inserts new section 115(2A), which clarifies when a body is to be treated as an interconnected body of an independent processor for the purposes of any regulations made under section 115.
New clause 8B amends section 118 of the Act, which is an offence provision. The amendment inserts new section 118(1)(aa) to make it an offence for a person who fails, without reasonable excuse, to comply with a requirement to provide periodic returns or periodic forecasts specified in regulations made under section 115 of the Act.
New clause 20 consequentially amends the Dairy Industry Restructuring (Raw Milk) Regulations 2001 to align the terminology in the regulations with new section 115(2A).
