The Primary Production Committee is calling for submissions on the Biosecurity (Information for Incoming Passengers) Amendment Bill.

The bill would amend the Biosecurity Act 1993 to require that all craft coming to New Zealand are required to provide biosecurity information to people on board. This information would be shared through an audiovisual recording as well as in writing.

The bill would require the Director-General to approve any audiovisual or written material before it is shown to people on board.
