Criminal Records (Expungement of Convictions for Historical Homosexual Offences) Bill

Government Bill
Published date: 05 Jul 2024

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 provides an expungement scheme for convictions for a historical homosexual offence if the conduct constituting the offence, if engaged in when the application for expungement was made, would not constitute an offence under the laws of New Zealand.
