Trespass (Specified Retail Premises and Other Matters) Amendment Bill

Government Bill
Published date: 31 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 bill is intended to improve the utility of the Trespass Act 1980 within a retail environment by giving retailers, food service providers, and licensed premises a greater range of tools to deter retail crime and keep their property, workers, and customers safe.
