Building (Earthquake-prone Building Deadlines 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 extends remediation timeframes for earthquake-prone buildings by four years, with a limited power to extend deadlines by a further period of up to two years by Order in Council.MP in charge
