Public Service Legislation 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 omnibus bill, which repeals the State Sector Act 1988 and makes a small number of related amendments to the Public Finance Act 1989, provides a modern legislative framework for achieving a more adaptive and collaborative Public Service by expanding the types of agencies that comprise the Public Service, unified by a common purpose, ethos, and strengthened leadership arrangements. Following the committee of the whole House stage, it is intended that this bill will be divided into two bills: the Public Service Bill and the Public Finance Amendment Bill.MP in charge

The House considers the bill in detail, questions the MP in charge, and may make changes.
A "sitting day" can last more than one day when the House is in urgency or an extended sitting. In this case, all business is officially recorded as happening on the date the sitting started (the sitting date), even if the actual date (the calendar date) is different. Find out more.
