The Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Exemption for RNZRSA Clubs from Special Licencing Requirements for Anzac Day) Amendment Bill has been passed through all stages unopposed
This bill resolves an anomaly and reduces unnecessary compliance costs on Royal New Zealand Returned and Services Association clubs, which serve liquor on Anzac Day in a way that does not contribute to significant alcohol-related harm.
On Wednesday April 6 the Business Committee agreed that the Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Exemption for RNZRSA Clubs from Special Licencing Requirements for Anzac Day) Amendment Bill be set down as members’ order of the day No 1, for consideration ahead of private and local orders of the day.
The Business Committee also agreed that the Bill be progressed through all stages on 06-04-16 and that there be no debate on the second reading.
