New Brunswick Bills

An Act to Amend the Employment Standards Act

An Act to Amend the Limitation of Actions Act

Enforcement of Canadian Judgments Act

Court Jurisdiction and Proceedings Transfer Act

An Act Respecting the Right to a Healthy Environment

Gives everyone a right to a healthy environment and a new commissioner. Sets a public registry, stronger input, and protects workers who report harms.

An Act to Amend the Gaming Control Act

Charities must use the official form to get gaming licences. Ticket money from local sales stays local, and some can keep records outside the province if approved.

An Act to Amend the Statistics Act

The Minister, not Cabinet, will pick the statistics agency's director. The current director stays; services stay the same.

An Act to Amend the Commissioners for Taking Affidavits Act

People with valid work permits can apply to witness sworn forms. This may make it easier and faster to find help, with more language options in your area.

An Act to Amend the Wills Act

People 16+ can make a will. Marriage won't cancel your will, but breakups usually cancel gifts to an ex. Courts can use more evidence to carry out your wishes.

Free Trade Within Canada Act

If a product or service is allowed in another province, it can be sold in this province too. This should cut red tape and add choice, while keeping safety rules.

An Act Respecting Pension Benefits

Plans can cash out small pensions or transfer them. Non-residents may withdraw. Unclaimed funds move to the province’s program. Some union plans limit employer payments.

An Act to Amend the Liquor Control Act

Small breweries and distilleries can sell sealed drinks at approved farmers' markets. Events can set prices, and distilleries need a fire-safety sign-off. Some old licences and reports are removed.

An Act to Amend the Motor Vehicle Act

Annual plate stickers end. Drivers must show printed proof of current registration when police ask; digital certificates must be printed, and records will use vehicle ID number and plate number.

Mactaquac Life Achievement Project Act

Speeds up a big hydro rebuild with special buying, bonding, and labor rules. Could lower financing costs and affect power rates and worker arrangements.

An Act Respecting the New Brunswick Association of Occupational Therapists

Only licensed occupational therapists can practise or use the title. The regulator sets rules, posts discipline results, requires insurance, requires sexual misconduct reporting, and can suspend to protect patients.

An Act to Amend the Public Health Act

Sets fixed terms for the top public health doctor, adds a deputy, and requires an annual report. Clear written directions and acting appointments aim to improve accountability during emergencies.

An Act to Amend An Act Respecting Certain Parks and Streets in The City of Fredericton

The bill updates the legal map of a city parcel and fixes cross-references. It does not change private property lines, taxes, or daily park access.

An Act to Amend the Child and Youth Well-Being Act

The minister can agree with parents to place children with other caregivers without court. Past agreements since January 26, 2024 are valid, with protection for good-faith actions.

Supplementary Appropriations Act 2025-2026 (1)

The government adds $465 million to key services this year. More money goes to health, social supports, housing, education, and public safety. No new taxes.

An Act to Amend the Securities Act

Investors get a faster dispute service with awards up to $350,000. The bill tightens promotion rules, raises fines, and protects people who report wrongdoing to stop scams.

An Act Respecting the Agriculture Appeal Board Act and the Bee Act

Beekeepers can appeal to an independent board, not the Minister. Orders stay in force during appeals to protect bee health.

An Act Respecting the Early Childhood Services Act

Child care licences can last up to three years, and a new portal replaces the registry. The Minister may approve pilot projects; terms are clearer, with no price changes now.

An Act to Amend the Order of New Brunswick Act

More people can receive the top provincial honour each year. Council members serve until replaced and can be removed only for cause.

An Act Respecting the Emergency 911 Act

911 calls will be handled more smoothly and securely. Agencies must meet new standards, share needed info to respond, report outages, and face penalties for misuse.
