The reprint incorporates all the amendments to the regu­ lations as at 22 April 2005, as specified in the list of amend­ ments at the end of these notes. Relevant provisions of any amending enactments that have yet to come into force or that contain relevant transitional or savings provisions are also included, after the principal enact­ ment, in chronological order. 2 Status of reprints Under section 16D of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, reprints are presumed to correctly state, as at the date of the reprint, the law enacted by the principal enactment and by the amendments to that enactment. This presumption applies even though editorial changes authorised by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 have been made in the reprint. This presumption may be rebutted by producing the official volumes of statutes or statutory regulations in which the prin­ cipal enactment and its amendments are contained. 3 How reprints are prepared A number of editorial conventions are followed in the prep­ aration of reprints. For example, the enacting words are not included in Acts, and provisions that are repealed or revoked are omitted. For a detailed list of the editorial conventions, see 20 http://www.legislation.govt.nz/pdfLink.aspx?id=DLM195439 http://www.legislation.govt.nz/pdfLink.aspx?id=DLM195466 http://www.legislation.govt.nz/pdfLink.aspx?id=DLM195466 Reprinted as at 22 April 2005 Animal Products (Dairy) Regulations 2005 Notes http://www.pco.parliament.govt.nz/legislation/reprints.shtml or Part 8 of the Tables of Acts and Ordinances and Statutory Regulations, and Deemed Regulations in Force. 4 Changes made under section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 Section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 authorises the making of editorial changes in a reprint as set out in sections 17D and 17E of that Act so that, to the extent permitted, the format and style of the reprinted enactment is consistent with current legislative drafting practice. Changes that would alter the effect of the legislation are not permitted. A new format of legislation was introduced on 1 January 2000. Changes to legislative drafting style have also beenmade since 1997, and are ongoing. To the extent permitted by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, all le­ gislation reprinted after 1 January 2000 is in the new format for legislation and reflects current drafting practice at the time of the reprint.
