Gambling Amendment Bill (No 3)

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 bill proposes amendments to the Gambling Act to increase transparency of grant-making from the proceeds of Class 4 gambling; reduce potential conflicts of interest situations between Class 4 gambling operators (societies), venues, and grant recipients; improve transparency surrounding management companies that provide societies with services; simplify compliance and reduce costs for societies and venue owners; and ensure the efficiency of the appeals process is not undermined.
