Meteorological Services (Acquisition and Policies) Legislation Amendment 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 purpose of this omnibus bill is to allow for the acquisition of the Meteorological Service of New Zealand Limited (MetService) by the New Zealand Institute for Earth Science Limited (NZIES) and to require the NZIES to publish its access policy for observational weather data.
