Resale Right for Visual Artists 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 establishes an Artist Resale Royalty scheme in New Zealand. The scheme provides a mandatory resale right to eligible visual artists that entitles them to receive a royalty payment when their qualifying artwork sells on the secondary art market.
