350: Board to publish reports
or “The Board must tell everyone about their yearly report and make it easy for people to see and buy it.”

You could also call this:

“The law says the Minister must show the yearly report to the people who make laws within a certain number of work days.”

The Minister has a job to do. When they get a special report called an annual report, they need to show it to the House of Representatives. This is a group of people who make decisions for New Zealand. The Minister can’t take too long to do this. They have to show the report within 10 days that Parliament is working. These aren’t just any days, but days when the people in Parliament are at work. The Minister starts counting these days from the day they get the report. This report comes from section 349 of the law.
