Finance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2020
Public bill · Government · Presented
Makes temporary changes to credit union rules so meetings can be held online or partly online, members can vote by proxy, and meetings can be postponed or reorganised when needed during the Covid-19 period. It also lets the Government extend the special Covid-related period if public health still requires it. In addition, it allows a member of the Fiscal Council to serve one extra consecutive term, and updates the State’s loan arrangements so the European Union can be treated as a lender for the relevant stability agreement.
