This act brings together and updates some laws about charitable trusts in New Zealand. Charitable trusts are organisations set up to help people or do good things for society.
The act makes changes to existing rules about charitable trusts. It combines different laws into one place, making it easier to understand and use. This new act replaces older laws that were spread out in different places.
By updating these laws, the act aims to make sure that charitable trusts can work better and follow clear rules. It helps people who run charitable trusts know what they need to do to follow the law.
