Thomas Cawthron Trust Amendment 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 objects of this Private Bill are to articulate the objects of the Cawthron Institute Trust Board and the powers conferred on it to advance those objects, provide for the appointment of a member of the Trust Board nominated by Te Tauihu iwi, specify the legal liability of the members of the Trust Board, and update and modernise the governance arrangements of the Trust Board.
