Local Government (Customer Focus) Amendment Bill

Member's Bill
Published date: 11 May 2023

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 Local Government Act 2002 to require that local authorities promote a customer focus to delivering public services and regulatory functions.
