This...   [quote]"The Psychoactive Substances Act came into effect in July 2013. The purpose of the Act is to regulate the availability of psychoactive substances (i.e. legal high’s) in N.Z. to protect the health of, and minimise harm to, individuals who use these substances.
The Act gives local authorities the discretion to establish a “local approved products policy” (LAPP). A LAPP can establish restrictions around the location of premises from which approved products (or ‘legal highs’) may be sold. The Act does not allow Councils to create a LAPP that would result in an outright ban across the city."
The public are invited to make submissions to the Hutt City Council regarding the nature of LAPP restrictions for Hutt City.
