A
BILL
to
This Act reforms how Northern Ireland's government operates by changing the rules for electing ministers and adjusting the 'petition of concern' system, a special tool that lets politicians block decisions they think are unfair. The changes are designed to make the government work more smoothly while keeping the balance of power between different communities in Northern Ireland.
