S.M. 2018, c. 28

Bill 8, 3 rd Session, 41st Legislature

The Government Notices Modernization Act (Various Acts Amended)

Explanatory Note

This note is a reader's aid and is not part of the law.

Part 1 of this Act amends The Queen's Printer Act to establish the deputy minister of the department that administers the Act as the Queen's Printer and to require the Queen's Printer to make The Manitoba Gazette, an official government publication, available to the public online at no cost.

Part 2 of this Act amends provisions in 24 statutes that relate to the government's publication of official notices. These amendments remove references to printed "issues" of The Manitoba Gazette so that it may be published online. Several requirements to publish a notice or document in a newspaper are replaced with the requirement or option of publishing it in The Manitoba Gazette.
