Biosecurity Act 2014

This section applies if—

before the commencement, the chief executive gives a person a notice under the amended Act, section 18 directing the person to cause the things to be destroyed or otherwise disposed of; and

the notice relates to a residue of a chemical that is a contaminant; and

immediately before the commencement, the person had not complied with the notice.

From the commencement—

the notice is taken to be a biosecurity order given by an inspector under section 373 in the same terms as the notice given under the amended Act; and

the stated period continues to apply for taking the action; and

the period continues to have started from when the period started under the amended Act, section 18.

If, before the commencement, the standards officer took action under the amended Act, section 19 any amount owed by a person to the standards officer under that section becomes on the commencement a debt payable by the person to the chief executive.
