Further changes to the Arms Act 1983 (contained in the Arms Legislation Act 2020) will come into force on 24 June 2021 and new regulations are required to support these. Submissions were received on some policy proposals for potential inclusion in the regulations to support the implementation of amendments, and to adjust or clarify some existing regulations.

The feedback will help us assess whether, and if so how, we may need to amend the proposals to meet the objectives of the legislation.
