Secretary for Security Wong Sio Chak said yesterday that the government was proposing a new category of crime for fake marriages in its possible amendments to the city’s immigration laws and regulations.
Wong also said that the government will launch a one-month public consultation on May 8 on the drafting of a bill amending the existing immigration laws and regulations.
All amendments to an existing law must be submitted to the Legislative Assembly for debate and vote. Amendments to by-laws (administrative regulations) do not require the legislature’s approval.
