The Sunscreen Product Safety Standard Bill is in the name of National MP Todd Muller.
It would require the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs to recommend the setting of mandatory regulations under the Fair Trading Act, prescribing a safety standard for sunscreen products.
Muller says the New Zealand sun is brutal and this country has one of the highest rates of skin cancer and melanoma in the world.
