Introduced by leave on Feb 14 to replace a Members Bill (no.1) which was seriously flawed in drafting. The Bill in the name of Louisa Wall seeks to introduce a new step for the renewal off alcohol off-licences to ensure they comply with a Local Alcohol plan. It was read a first time and referred with Supplementary Order Paper to the Governance and Administration Committee on Feb 21. It was a personal vote but fell along party lines with NZ First swayed at last minute to support the bill to select committee at this stage with the late proposed amendment. Opposed by National. Reported back on Aug 16 with the committee unable to agree on the bill progressing. National strongly opposed. Bill put on hold until 1 April 2019. Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Renewal of Licences) Amendment Bill (No 2)
