Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Day 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 purpose of this bill is to provide for a one-off day of commemoration on Monday 26 September 2022 to acknowledge the long and dedicated service of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to New Zealand, and for the commemoration day to be observed as a New Zealand public holiday in accordance with the Holidays Act 2003.
