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 seeks to give effect to some elements of the Whakatōhea deed of settlement, which was signed by Whakatōhea and the Crown in May 2023.
