199I: Prison management contracts to be presented to House of Representatives

You could also call this:

"The Government must show the House of Representatives new or changed prison management contracts within 12 days."

When a new contract is made to manage a prison, the Minister has to give a copy of the contract to the House of Representatives within 12 sitting days. You can think of the House of Representatives like a big group of people who help make decisions for New Zealand. The Minister also has to give the House of Representatives a copy of any changes or renewals made to the contract within 12 sitting days.

If a prison management contract is changed or renewed, the Minister must present the new terms to the House of Representatives within 12 sitting days. This means the Minister has to keep the House of Representatives informed about what is happening with the prison management contracts. The Minister does this by giving them the updated information in a timely manner.
