COVID-19 Recovery (Fast-track Consenting) Bill
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 is intended to urgently promote employment growth to support New Zealand's recovery from COVID-19. It will establish new fast-track consenting and designation processes for infrastructure and development projects and enable specific work on existing infrastructure to occur without the need for resource consent.MP in charge
