This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Arms Bill

Miscellaneous provisions - Repeal, revocations, and consequential amendments

378: Repeal

You could also call this:

"Removing the old Arms Act 1983 law"

The proposed law change says the Arms Act 1983 will be repealed. This means the Arms Act 1983 will no longer be a law if the proposal is agreed to. You can find the current Arms Act 1983 as it is now, but it may not be a law in the future.
