Social Security Legislation Rewrite 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.
This bill repeals and replaces the Social Security Act 1964 and the Social Welfare (Reciprocity Agreements, and New Zealand Artificial Limb Service) Act 1990, provides an improved legislative structure, and reduces the level of detail in primary legislation to enhance clarity, coherency, and consistency.MP in charge

Committee of whole House
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.
