About this statute

This provision amends section 2 of the principal Act so certain registered holders, or people who would have been holders but for unfair discrimination, may apply to the Minister in the prescribed manner to convert listed land tenure rights into ownership. This provision amends section 2 so that eligible persons may apply to the Minister to convert a listed land right into ownership. The Minister must publish notice of a conversion application, tell affected parties what is happening, and set at least one month for objections. Interested persons may object, and a designated person must help handle the objection and report back to the Minister. This section sets out how certain land tenure rights are converted and what the Minister and an appointed person must do during the process. A holder of a listed land tenure right in a formalized town may get all the rights and powers of an owner once the town register opens, if the right is still awaiting conversion to ownership.
