Commentary on provisions of Act Section 3: Criminal conduct authorisations: safeguards for vulnerable adults
Section 3(1) inserts section 29D which provides enhanced safeguards when granting criminal conduct authorisations for vulnerable adult CHIS.
	Subsection (2) provides a definition of a "vulnerable adult criminal conduct authorisation". Subsection (3) provides a definition of a "vulnerable adult".
	Subsection (4) sets out the safeguards that must be in place when granting a vulnerable adult criminal conduct authorisation. These requirements are in addition to those imposed by section 29B and limit the granting of an authorisation to where the risks of harm to the source as a result of the authorisation have been considered, where those risks have been explained and understood by the source, and where the best interests of the source have been taken into account.
	Subsections (5) and (6) provide definitions of an "appropriate risk assessment" and "harm".
	Subsection (7) sets out that the amendments made in this section do not affect the power to grant additional requirements in the future using the order making powers in the Act.
