Transitional provisions for authorities for birth certificates
381 Transitional provisions for authorities for birth certificates
This section applies to an authority given under former section 275 of the Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000 to create a birth certificate to help conceal the identity of a covert operative for a controlled operation relating to a suspected misconduct offence.
Editor’s note—
As previously enacted, this was a reference to the Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000, section 186 (Request for issue of document to conceal identity—general). The reference was changed by 2006 Act No. 26, sections 84 and 86.
The authority continues in force as a birth certificate approval.
A birth certificate created in accordance with an authority continued in force under subsection (2)—
is taken to have been created under new section 146Z; and
may continue to be used for the purpose for which it was created.
Also, new section 146ZG applies in relation to the creation of the birth certificate as if the birth certificate had been created under new section 146Z.
