Stopping Harassment and Abuse by Local Leaders Act, 2022
  • This is a law called the Stopping Harassment and Abuse by Local Leaders Act, 2022. It amends various statutes related to workplace violence and harassment policies for councillors and members of local boards. The law requires codes of conduct for these members to include a requirement to comply with workplace violence and harassment policies established by the municipality or local board. If a member fails to comply with these policies, the municipality or local board can impose penalties and even vacate the member's seat. The same rules apply to members of city council and local boards in the City of Toronto. The law does not apply during regular elections. If a member's seat is vacated, they are ineligible to run for office or be appointed to the council or board until the second subsequent regular election. The law comes into effect on the day it receives Royal Assent and is called the Stopping Harassment and Abuse by Local Leaders Act, 2022.

February 23, 2023
Uploading Highways 174 and 17 Act, 2023
  • This bill, called the Uploading Highways 174 and 17 Act, 2023, is an amendment to the Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act in Ontario. It states that Ottawa Road 174 and County Road 17 will no longer be under the control of any municipality, but instead will be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry. Any agreements or permits related to these highways made by a municipality will still be valid, but they will be considered as if they were made by the Ministry. The Crown in right of Ontario will have all the rights, privileges, and benefits that were previously held by the municipality. The Lieutenant Governor in Council cannot direct a transfer of these highways in the future. This Act will come into effect once it receives Royal Assent.
