Energy (Fuels, Levies, and References) 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.

The bill proposes amendments to the Energy (Fuels, Levies and, References) Act 1989 to provide for the costs of meeting New Zealand's oil stockholding treaty obligation under the Agreement on an International Energy Program to be met through a levy on fuel.
