The document provides mandatory completion instructions, emphasizing consistent headings, neutral plain English responses, and accurate, complete factual information backed by legal and policy knowledge. It also explains how revised or supplementary disclosures should focus on changes to original disclosures, including policy intent, quality assurance of legislative content, and significant legislative powers or features, with guidance on hyperlinks and submission timing.","Full Disclosure Statement Template for Amendments to a Bill\nGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THIS TEMPLATE\nDepartments are responsible for the content of the disclosure statement\nThe disclosure statement is a departmental document, not a Ministerial document.  The content should reflect the knowledge and understanding of the relevant department(s).\nUse of the disclosure statement template is mandatory\nThis template was created to ensure a consistent product and allow quick conversion into html format for web publication. Except as expressly indicated in the checklist below, or as otherwise authorised by the Parliamentary Counsel Office, please do not:\nalter the headings, questions, formatting, or layout of the statement;\nintroduce alternative styles or complex formatting in free text areas; or\ninclude diagrams or graphics in your responses.\nDepartments may choose between a revised or supplementary disclosure\nThe distinction is explained in the standard text supplied in the “Main areas of change” section of the template. In either case, however, the statement should be about the full Bill with proposed amendments incorporated.\nResponses provided should be honest, accurate and include all relevant facts\nThe accurate completion of the disclosure statement will require legal knowledge and detailed familiarity with the policy and final text of the Bill and its amendments.\nResponses provided should be written neutrally, concisely and in plain English\nHyperlinks should be active, durable, and with full http address visible\nHyperlinks are encouraged to minimise duplication and keep the disclosure statement relatively short, while still giving the reader ready access to relevant published material.\nDurable links should be favoured and facilitated (e.g. persistent URLs) where possible.\nThe guidance is important - please get familiar with it before you begin!\nThe Quick Guide provides a useful overview of the purpose, scope, process and timing of the disclosure obligations.\nThe Technical Guide sets out the disclosure requirements in detail and provides further advice on interpreting and responding to each question.\nThe guides are available on the Ministry for Regulation website at \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.regulation.govt.nz/our-work/disclosure-statements-for-government-legislation/\" \u0014https://www.regulation.govt.nz/our-work/disclosure-statements-for-government-legislation/\u0015.\nA final draft of the disclosure statement must be attached to the Cabinet paper, with accompanying Amendment Paper, seeking approval for introduction\nThe finalised disclosure statement (still in Word format) should be emailed to PCO at least two working days before the Amendment Paper is tabled\nIf provided later than this, the statement might get published late.\nChecklist and Final Sign-off\nYou are encouraged to use the checklist below, plus an unused copy of this template and the original disclosure statement for the Bill for comparison, to determine whether the completed disclosure statement is ready for final processing and publication by PCO.\nChecklist\nIf you can answer YES to all of these questions, and the person authorised to approve the disclosure statement is satisfied that it is finalised and ready for publication, please:\nemail the finished document to the PCO Publication Unit (\u0013 HYPERLINK \"mailto:publications@pco.govt.nz\" \u0014publications@pco.govt.nz\u0015), copied to your PCO (or IRD) drafter; and\nformally confirm in your email, on behalf of the department, that the statement is complete, accurate and up-to-date, and is now in a form ready for publication.\n[Revised/Supplementary] Departmental Disclosure Statement\nA [revised/supplementary] departmental disclosure statement for a Bill the government is proposing to amend seeks to bring together in one place a range of information to support and enhance the Parliamentary and public scrutiny of that Bill in amended form.\nIt highlights material changes to previous disclosures relating to:\nthe general policy intent
