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.
