Law Reform (Epidemic Preparedness) Bill

Government Bill
Published date: 10 Jun 2026

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.

The policy of this bill is to ensure that, should there be a human outbreak of avian influenza, or an outbreak of a similar infectious disease capable of becoming an epidemic, the Crown has powers to ensure an appropriate response can be made.
