Some amendments make non-controversial and supported improvements to how the legislation works in practice. For example, one of the proposed amendments to the Fire and Emergency New Zealand Act 2017 will better explain the necessary powers for an officer of an industry brigade, such as the practical steps to extinguish a fire or stabilise hazardous substances. Another example is the proposed amendment to the Biosecurity Act 1993, which will enable certain secondary legislation made by the same maker to be consolidated.
