A Note on Statutes and Regulations
Statutes and regulations change from time to time.
- It can take several weeks between the date the change is approved and the date the online version of the Act is updated. In the interim, changes to Acts can be found on the Bills of the House of Assembly page. Some changes are larger or more complex and are displayed separately in the list of Acts.
- Changes to Regulations are usually made using Orders in Council. Again, there can be a delay between the date of approval of the Order and the date the updated Regulation is available online.
