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.

The key purpose of this omnibus bill is to speed up the consenting process for, and building of, houses in New Zealand by reducing the number of inspections that must be completed for plumbing and drainlaying work.
