Sentencing (Reform) 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 amends the Sentencing Act 2022 to strengthen the consequences of offending and ensure offenders take personal responsibility for the harm they cause.MP in charge
