Social Assistance (Payment of New Zealand Superannuation and Veteran's Pension Overseas) 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 New Zealand Superannuation and Retirement Income Act 2001, and the War Pensions Act 1954 to make it easier for superannuitants and veteran's pensioners to travel or retire overseas.MP in charge

The House considers the bill in detail, questions the MP in charge, and may make changes.
A "sitting day" can last more than one day when the House is in urgency or an extended sitting. In this case, all business is officially recorded as happening on the date the sitting started (the sitting date), even if the actual date (the calendar date) is different. Find out more.
