Explanatory note

This Supplementary Order Paper (SOP) amends the KiwiSaver (Oranga Tamariki Guardians) Amendment Bill to align with the original intention of the Bill as presented at first reading. This SOP will expand the eligibility of the KiwiSaver scheme to around 6,000 foster children, including those who do not have a guardian. For example, one child who has been in foster parents’ care for several years has been going through the process of having the foster parents become legal guardians, and the foster parents have also been fighting Oranga Tamariki for over 3 years to get their foster child enrolled in a KiwiSaver scheme. That child will not benefit from this Bill as amended by select committee, and this SOP will provide those foster parents with the right to enrol their foster child in KiwiSaver.
