Section 157 — Privacy Act 2020: Amendment of approved information sharing agreement

157 Amendment of approved information sharing agreement (1) This section applies if an approved information sharing agreement is amended (whether in accordance with the Commissioner’s recommendation in a report under section 159 or otherwise). (2) As soon as practicable after the amendment is made, the lead agency must— (a) give written notice of the amendment to— (i) the Commissioner; and (ii) the relevant Minister; and (b) make a copy of the amendment— (i) available for inspection, free of charge, at the lead agency’s head office on any working day; and (ii) accessible, free of charge, on the Internet site where a copy of the agreement is accessible. (3) The information sharing agreement approved by Order in Council continues to have effect as if the amendment notified under subsection (2) had not been made, unless the Governor-General, by a further Order in Council made on the recommendation of the relevant Minister, approves the agreement as amended by the parties. (4) Sections 145 to 151 apply, with any necessary modifications, to the approval of the agreement as amended. (5) Subsection (2)(a), (3), or (4) does not apply if the amendment to an approved information sharing agreement relates only to— (a) the fees and charges payable under the agreement; or (b) a name or description of a party to the agreement; or (c) naming an agency as a party to the agreement under section 142(3) ; or (d) removing an agency as a party to the agreement under section 142(4) ; or (e) any terms or conditions of the agreement that the lead agency, after consulting the Commissioner, considers do not, or are unlikely to, have any effect on the privacy implications of the agreement.
