Te Here ā Nuku (Nelson Tenths) Bill
Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.
The primary purpose of this bill is to provide for the transfer of legal title in certain lands from the Crown (as a former trustee) to the new trustees as appointed by the Court (the trustees of Te Here ā Nuku Trust).MP in charge
