The government wants to amend laws to increase the value threshold of projects referred to parliament's Public Works Committee.

As it stands, state-funded projects worth more than $5 million need to be referred to the committee for assessment.

The government wants the threshold increased to $8 million for building and construction projects and to $20 million for roads and bridges.

Leader of Government Business Michael Ferguson said the bill had support from the construction industry, civil contractors, and the Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

"Over the next three years, we will still have 50 projects that are above that threshold," he said.

"We're not in any way taking away from the important role of the (Public Works) committee."

Parliament is set to debate a new 10-year GMO moratorium for Tasmania.

The proposed legislation for the moratorium has been amended to recognise that gene-edited organisms are still genetically modified organisms.

This is contrary to proposed amendments to federal regulations, however.

Mr Ferguson said the government would present more legislation following the Royal Commission into institutional child sexual abuse to further clarify responsibilities for organisations with a duty of care for children.

"There are areas where the Royal Commission has shown states and territories can take stronger action," he said.

Mr Ferguson said the government was in discussions with independent member Madeleine Ogilvie over her question allocation in Question Time. "I'm currently in the process of negotiating that with her in a way that is satisfactory for her but also ensuring that it doesn't subtract from the current opportunities that the Greens and the Labor opposition have," he said.
