New Zealand law explained for everyone

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.

Parliament Bill

Parliamentary security - Powers and duties of parliamentary security officers - Process D: item Item handed over gives officer reasonable grounds to believe item may constitute threat to security of parliamentary precincts

You could also call this:

Illustration for Parliament Bill

If you are a parliamentary security officer, you must do something when you ask someone to leave an item with you. You must tell the person about certain things at the same time as you make the request. This is because of a proposed new rule that is part of the Parliament Bill.
