Returning Offenders (Management and Information) Amendment Bill
Government bill
21 February 2023
This bill amends the Returning Offenders (Management and Information) Act 2015 to ensure that the principal Act continues to put all returning offenders in roughly the same position they would have been in had they offended in New Zealand. Accordingly, the New Zealand Police will be able to collect information from returnees to establish their identity and support future investigations, and parole-like conditions will be available if a returnee has been deported after a prison sentence.
