The amendment permits—

(a) The use, in the name of a multinational sporting event, of a tobacco product trade mark, or a company name of a tobacco company:

(b) The advertising of a multinational sporting event, and of the fact that it is organised or promoted or sponsored by a tobacco company:

(c) The use, on any article, of a tobacco product trade mark, or the company name of a tobacco company, for the purpose of advertising or promoting or identifying to the public a multinational sporting event or the fact that it is organised or promoted or sponsored by a tobacco company.

Smoke-free Environments Amendment (No. 2)

This Bill proposes to amend the Smoke-free Environments Act 1990 to relax the existing restrictions on the sponsorship of cultural and sporting activities or events by tobacco companies. These restrictions relate to the extent to which the sponsorship may be acknowledged in the naming and promotion of an event.

While the Bill proposes to relax existing restrictions, this is to be subject to certain requirements. With one exception these requirements are drawn from the provisions of the Code for the Marketing of Tobacco Products.

Events for which sponsorship is still to be excluded include: those events designed specifically for, or conditional on, a television, radio, or cinema audience; events with an audience likely to be predominantly under the age of 18 years; modern music concerts principally for persons under the age of 20 years; events that are part of the activities of a school.

The Bill provides that tobacco companies may not purchase radio, television, or cinema advertising to advertise their sponsorship of a particular event. The size of any printed advertisements of an event on behalf of a tobacco company is to be restricted. Such advertising may not continue later than one week after the event.

Further requirements relate to the signs advertising sponsorship of a specified event by a tobacco company. They must be removed from the venue when the event is concluded. Signs featuring only a tobacco product trade mark or part or all of the company name must include a health message to specific requirements.

The Bill also seeks to prohibit advertisements that depict a tobacco product or any package in which the products are customarily sold or the smoking of any such product or any claims relating to the particular brand.

New Zealand Permanent Trustees Limited

The Private Bill will enable the East Coast Permanent Trustees Limited to change its name to New Zealand Permanent Trustees Limited and continue to operate under that name, empower the company to transact business with the National Mutual Life Association of Australasia Limited, its subsidiaries and related companies; and will repeal the East Coast Permanent Trustees Limited Act 1962.

Naseby Borough Council (Excess Rates Validation)

The object of this Local Bill is to validate the former Naseby Borough Council’s breach of section 136 of the Local Government Act 1974 by rating in excess of the sum of 1.25 cents in the dollar on the capital value of the rateable property for the year ended 31 March 1989.

The Bill also seeks to declare lawful all payments of the said general rate already collected by the Naseby Borough Council or its successor, the Central Otago District Council, and to deem that any outstanding payment of the rate be lawfully payable to the Central Otago District Council.

Continuance of Napier Hospital

This Private Members’s Bill seeks to continue the treatment of inpatients and outpatients at Napier Hospital by requiring the Hawke’s Bay Area Health Board to keep the hospital open.

Information Privacy

The Private Member’s Bill makes provision for the protection of privacy of natural persons in respect of information collected, held and used in both manual and automated systems by public sector agencies and by any other corporate or incorporate body.
