Fisheries (International Fishing and Other Matters) 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 Fisheries Act 1996 to enable New Zealand to better meet its international fishing management and compliance obligations in relation to IUU fishing, and to improve the efficiency and clarity of the statutory provisions and associated decision-making processes.
