The long awaited PRC amendments Bill has now been tabled in the House of Assembly. This is the first step towards a Bill becoming law. It has to pass the House of Assembly, and is then sent to the Senate, where amendments can be proposed. Assuming it passes through the Senate, it is then rubber-stamped by the Governor. It doesn't actually become law, though, until the Minister for Immigration publishes a commencement notice in the official gazette.
