New Zealand Legislation: Acts
Acts are laws made by Parliament
(1) To the extent that the constitutional documents of a mandated iwi organisation, asset-holding company, or subsidiary of an asset-holding company relate to matters provided for by or under this Act, a proposal to change those documents—
(a) must not be inconsistent with this Act; and
(b) unless the change is required as a consequence of a rule made or amended under section 25,—
(i) must not be made earlier than 2 years after the date on which the mandated iwi organisation is recognised by Te Ohu Kai Moana Trustee Limited under section 13(1); and
(ii) may only be promoted if the iwi resolves at a general meeting of the mandated iwi organisation that the change is for the collective benefit of all members of the iwi.
(2) Section 17(2) and (3) applies, with the necessary modifications, to changes proposed under this section for constitutional documents or required as a consequence of rules made or amended in accordance with section 25.
