Overseas Investment (National Interest Test and Other Matters) 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 Overseas Investment Act 2005 to reduce compliance costs and make decision making timelier, while also ensuring that the Government has the tools necessary to safeguard New Zealand's national interest, including its national security and public order.MP in charge
