A government bill aims to resolve uncertainty around more than 120 indigenous land use agreements relating to major projects, including the Queensland mine proposed by the Indian resources giant Adani.

It reverses the impact of a Federal Court ruling known as the McGlade case, which found an indigenous land use agreement could not be registered unless all members of the "registered native title claimant" signed the agreement, including members of the group who may have died.

That ruling overturned an earlier decision, which found that an area land use agreement could be registered if it had been signed by at least one member of the registered native title claimant group.

The amended bill passed the Senate with Labor and crossbench support on Wednesday.
