Severe Weather Emergency Recovery Legislation 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 the second Bill in response to the heavy rain events in the upper North Island and Cyclones Hale and Gabrielle in January and February 2023. The general purpose of the Bill is to assist local authorities and communities in the areas affected by the severe weather events.MP in charge
