Government Bill
Published date: 13 Dec 2024

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 Racing Industry Act 2020 to prohibit the destruction (by any means) of greyhounds registered with New Zealand Greyhound Racing Association Incorporated (GRNZ), unless it is done by a veterinarian for a reason specified in the greyhound euthanasia policy of GRNZ or by a person acting under the authority of any other legislation
