Enabling Crown Entities to Adopt Māori Names Bill

Member's Bill
Published date: 28 May 2025

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.

This bill enables the Governor-General, by Order in Council, to establish Māori names for Crown entities in addition to or instead of the names given to them by their empowering Acts.
