Title
Bills — Customs Amendment (Product Specific Rule Modernisation) Bill 2019; Third Reading- Customs Amendment (Product Specific Rule Modernisation) Bill 2019 - Third Reading - Pass the bill
Description
<p class="speaker">Linda Reynolds</p><p>I move:</p><p class="italic">That this bill be now read a third time.</p>- The majority voted in favour of a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2021-02-04.58.1) to read the bill for a [third time](https://peo.gov.au/understand-our-parliament/how-parliament-works/bills-and-laws/making-a-law-in-the-australian-parliament/), which is parliamentary jargon for voting to pass the bill. Because the bill has already passed in the House of Representatives, it will now become law.
- ### What does the bill do?
- According to the [bill homepage](https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;query=Id:legislation/billhome/r6391), this bill was introduced in order to:
- > *streamline the way in which product specific rules of origin of the Australia-Chile Free Trade Agreement, Australia-New Zealand Closer Economic Relations Agreement, Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement, Korea-Australia Free Trade Agreement, Malaysia-Australia Free Trade Agreement and Thailand-Australia Free Trade Agreement are given effect domestically.*
<p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p><p>The question is that the motion moved by the minister that the bill be read a third time be agreed to.</p>
