Constitution 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 Constitution Act 1986 to improve the resilience of the mechanisms that provide for the continuity of executive government and the transition of power following an election.MP in charge
