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.
This part of the bill is about changing an existing law. It says that section 147 of the Customer and Product Data Bill will make changes to a law called the Summary Proceedings Act 1957. This law has been around since 1957, and now the government wants to update it. When you hear people talking about changing a law that already exists, they often call it ‘amending’ the law. So, if this bill becomes a real law, it will amend the Summary Proceedings Act 1957.
