2010 STATUS OF LEGISLATION OF THE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY 2nd Session, 61st General Assembly 59 Elizabeth II, 2010 Published by the Office of the Legislative Counsel Printed by the Queen’s Printer Halifax, Nova Scotia STATUS OF LEGISLATION This booklet contains a list of all the bills that were introduced in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly in 2010. This sitting is the Second Session of the Sixty-first General Assembly. A Government Bill is distinguished by designating the portfolio of the Minister who introduced it. A Private Member’s Bill (non- Government public bill) or Private or Local Bill is distinguished by giving the constituency of the member who introduced it. In Nova Scotia, all Government Bills and Private Members’ Bills, after receiving second reading, are referred to the Law Amendments Committee unless the House otherwise determines. The only excep- tion to this rule is the appropriations bill which is governed by spe- cial rules of the House. All Private or Local Bills, after receiving second reading, are referred to the Committee on Private and Local Bills unless the House otherwise determines. Where a bill has received Royal Assent, the Chapter number in the 2010 Statutes is given as well as the time of commencement. __________ Compiled by the Office of the Legislative Counsel TABLE OF CONTENTS Sitting Dates of the House of Assembly . .1 Status of Bills . .3 Index. .43 2010 status of legislation 1 SITTING DATES OF HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY 2010 Convened - March 25, 2010 Adjourned - May 11, 2010 Reconvened - October 28, 2010 Adjourned - December 10, 2010 2010 status of legislation 3 BILLS - LEGISLATIVE PROGRESS Bill 1 House of Assembly Management Commission Act Honourable Darrell E.
