Arms (Firearms Prohibition Orders) Amendment Bill

Member's Bill
Published date: 12 May 2023

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 Arms Act 1983 by providing new powers for Police to make sure the most dangerous gang members don't have firearms, while not putting unnecessary restrictions on legal gun owners.
