Military Decorations and Distinctive Badges (Modernisation) 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 Military Decorations and Distinctive Badges Act 1918 to update the penalty levels for offences in respect of military decorations and to reflect that the military service is no longer only for men.
