Arms (Prohibited Firearms, Magazines, and Parts) Amendment Act 2019 No 12, Public Act – New Zealand Legislation
Section 4A

I wonder if all with the MSSA (E-Cat) endorsement will automatically get the new endorsement?
Considering the costs to get that MSSA endorsement and the extra hurdles to jump, they'll either have to pay out or endorse with whatever the new 1 will be called.

That seems to be the whole idea.

It is still possible the second tranche might squeeze in a slightly wider range of exemptions, still worth hassling our MPs about it.
