26I: Annual report

You could also call this:

"The Fish and Game Council must write a yearly report to the Minister about their work."

The New Zealand Fish and Game Council must give the Minister a report on what they did each year. You will see this report after the end of each financial year. The Council must do this as soon as they can.

If the Minister has approved a policy under section 26HA(2), the report must tell you what powers fish and game rangers used to enforce the law. The report must also say if anyone complained about the rangers and what happened with those complaints. It must say if the rangers did anything wrong according to the policy.

The Minister must give a copy of the report to the House of Representatives, following section 150(3) of the Crown Entities Act 2004. You can find this in the law about Crown Entities. The Minister does this to keep everyone informed.
