Anzac Day 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 Anzac Day Act 1966 to cover other conflicts and persons who have served New Zealand in time of war or in warlike conflicts in the past and in the future that are not currently covered by the Act.MP in charge
