Explanatory note

This note is not part of the order, but is intended to indicate its general effect. This order, which comes into force on 18 January 2018, amends the State Sector Act 1988 (the Act) by replacing the reference to the Ministry for Vulnerable Children, Or- anga Tamariki in the list of departments of the Public Service in Schedule 1 with a reference to Oranga Tamariki—Ministry for Children. The name of the Ministry for Vulnerable Children, Oranga Tamariki will change to Oranga Tamariki—Ministry for Children by exercise of the Crown’s prerogative on 18 January 2018. The effect of this order is that the Act will apply to Oranga Tamari- ki—Ministry for Children after the name change. Sections 30H and 30I of the Act provide that, after a name change, any reference to the old name of a department in any enactment or thing existing or in force at the time of the name change must be read as a reference to the department under its new name. This order also applies the sections to a transitional period beginning on 18 January 2018 and ending on 18 January 2019. This means that any reference to the Ministry for Vulnerable Children, Oranga Tamariki in any enactment or thing coming into force, entered into, or created during the transitional period must be read as a refer- ence to Oranga Tamariki—Ministry for Children.
