This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill

Introduction

You could also call this:

"Report on how changes to Treaty of Waitangi law might affect people"

Illustration for Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill

The government wants to make changes to the law about the Treaty of Waitangi. To help decide what changes to make, the Ministry of Justice wrote a report on 28 August 2024. This report looks at how the changes might affect people and organisations.

If you want to read this report, you can find it online. You can look at two websites to see it. One is the Beehive website, which is where the government shares news. The other is the Treasury website, where they put reports about changes to laws. These websites will give you more information about the proposed changes to the Treaty of Waitangi law.
