Climate Change Response (Tort Liability) 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 Climate Change Response Act 2002 to create a statutory bar on tort liability for emissions-related climate change effects.MP in charge
