Wildlife (Authorisations) Amendment Bill

Government Bill
Published date: 08 May 2025

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 objective of this bill is to enable the Department of Conservation to regulate the incidental killing of wildlife that inevitably occurs during the carrying out of otherwise lawful activities.

The House considers the bill in detail, questions the MP in charge, and may make changes.

A "sitting day" can last more than one day when the House is in urgency or an extended sitting. In this case, all business is officially recorded as happening on the date the sitting started (the sitting date), even if the actual date (the calendar date) is different. Find out more.
