Therapeutic Products Bill
Clauses 1 and 2
Time unknown
Members, we come now to our final debate on clauses 1 and 2, “Title” and “Commencement”.
Time unknown
Kia ora. We were just wondering if you could give assurances that when this bill comes into effect, we can expect all secondary legislation will be fully in place—or regulations for the bill.
Time unknown
Clearly, the bill will come into effect in 2026, and all of the regulation to enable the regulation of medicines and medical devices will be in place by then—and other regulations as necessary.
Time unknown
Mr Speaker, the committee has considered the Therapeutic Products Bill and reports it with amendments. I move, That the report be adopted.
Report adopted.
