22 Amendment and repeal of foundation regulations

(1) Despite section 43 of the Interpretation Act 1987, a regulation under this Act—

(a) may not amend a committee’s foundation regulation with respect to the matters referred to in section 6 (1) unless the amendment is supported by more than half of the votes cast in a poll referred to in section 17 (4) in which more than half of the committee’s constituents cast votes, and

(b) may not repeal a committee’s foundation regulation unless the committee has been dissolved.

(2) In the case of a regulation to amend a committee’s foundation regulation so as to add to—

(a) the class of primary producers for which the committee is constituted, or

(b) the area of operations for which the committee is constituted, or

(c) the commodities for which the committee is constituted,

the reference in subsection (1) (a) to the committee’s constituents is taken to be a reference to all of the persons who would be the committee’s constituents if the committee’s foundation regulation were amended in accordance with the amending regulation.
