President Christine Kangaloo has signed two major laws, fulfilling key promises from the 2025 General Election.
The Home Invasion Act creates a specific offence and confirms the right of homeowners to defend themselves, their families, and property, with no duty to retreat.
Meanwhile, an amendment to the Summary Offences Act strengthens rules on excessive noise and fireworks, addressing concerns for community well-being, public health, and animal welfare.
The new laws focus on strengthening public safety and improving quality of life for citizens across Trinidad and Tobago.
