Water Services Entities Amendment Bill

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill is part of a suite of legislation to reform water services regulation and service delivery in New Zealand. The single broad policy of this omnibus bill is to provide for, and adjust, the establishment, governance, functions, and accountability arrangements for 10 publicly owned water services entities that will deliver water services in New Zealand in place of local authorities.
