Animal Welfare (Regulations for Management of Pigs) 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.
The objective of this bill is to support a legally compliant and welfare-focused transition for New Zealand pig farmers beyond the current expiry date for regulations 26 and 27 of the Animal Welfare (Care and Procedures) Regulations 2018 of 18 December 2025.MP in charge
