Public Service Legislation Bill
Government bill
18 November 2019
This omnibus bill, which repeals the State Sector Act 1988 and makes a small number of related amendments to the Public Finance Act 1989, provides a modern legislative framework for achieving a more adaptive and collaborative Public Service by expanding the types of agencies that comprise the Public Service, unified by a common purpose, ethos, and strengthened leadership arrangements. Following the committee of the whole House stage, it is intended that this bill will be divided into two bills: the Public Service Bill and the Public Finance Amendment Bill.
