Explanatory note

This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Countering Terrorist Fighters Legislation Bill. The amendments adjust the heading to clause 4 and a cross-reference in clause 5 to account for the inclusion of new section 46 of the Passports Act 1992.

The amendments also add new paragraphs that relate to delegations into new section 4IF of the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service Act 1969 (which lists certain provisions of that Act that will apply to authorisations to undertake warrantless surveillance). The addition of a reference to section 5AA will ensure that the Director cannot delegate any function or power involved in applying for an authorisation, but can delegate a function or power involved in executing an authorisation. The addition of a reference to section 5AAC will require any delegation of a function or power involved in executing an authorisation to be entered in a register of delegations involving warrants.
