Public Finance (Fines Collection Costs—Budget Measures) 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 Public Finance Act 1989 to increase from 10% to 14% the percentage the Crown retains (as fines collection costs) from amounts of fines recovered for offences prosecuted by or on behalf of local authorities and other organisations.
