Submissions open on Valuers Bill
The Primary Production Select Committee is calling for submissions on the Valuers Bill currently before Parliament.
Consultation for changes to the Arms Act is now open and will run until 28 February 2025.
Associate Justice Minister Nicole McKee says the submissions received on the Ministry of Justice discussion document will feed into the policy development process, which will be led by the ministry.
“Following policy development, the Government will introduce a bill to Parliament and the public will have a further opportunity to make submissions on the proposed changes through the select committee process,” McKee says.
“I have made it clear that this Government wants to rewrite the Act to put in place a fit-for-purpose regime which has public safety and simple, effective regulatory processes at its heart,” she says.
“It is important that everyone has confidence in how firearms are controlled and, therefore, everyone has a role to play in the rewrite of the Act.
“I encourage people to read the discussion document and think about their feedback,” McKee concludes.
The discussion document and further details on the public consultation are available at https://consultations.justice.govt.nz/policy/public-consultation-on-the-arms-act-rewrite/
