Group of answer choices
a. Just before the select committee stage
b. At the first reading but only in a draft format
c. At the second reading but only on the NZ Government website
d. When the Bill is introduced to Parliament
Solution
The answer is d. When the Bill is introduced to Parliament.
Here is the step by step process:
-
A Bill is a proposal for a new law or a proposal to change an existing law.
-
The Bill is introduced to Parliament. This is the first stage in the legislative process.
-
Once the Bill is introduced, it is published and made available to the public. This allows the public to be aware of the proposed changes and to participate in the legislative process, for example, by making submissions to the select committee considering the Bill.
-
Therefore, the Bill is published and available to the public when it is introduced to Parliament.
