Summary Offences (Demonstrations Near Residential Premises) 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 Summary Offences Act 1981 to create a new offence for engaging in a targeted and disruptive demonstration near residential premises.MP in charge
