Published date: 01 Jul 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.

This omnibus bill repeals and replaces the Courts (Remote Participation) Act 2010 to reform the legislative framework governing the use of remote participation and to enable increased remote participation in New Zealand's courts.
