New Zealand Bill of Rights (Declarations of Inconsistency) 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 helps provide a mechanism for the Executive and the House of Representatives to consider, and, if they think fit, respond to, a declaration of inconsistency made under the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 or the Human Rights Act 1993.
