Bill 68, 3^rd Session, 42^nd Legislature

The Legislative Assembly Amendment Act

Explanatory Note

This note was written as a reader's aid to the Bill and is not part of the law.

This Bill amends The Legislative Assembly Act to require the Speaker to report on members' indemnities and allowances instead of the Minister of Finance.

Also, severance paid to former members is no longer included in the report prepared by the Members' Allowance Office. These amounts are included in the Speaker's report.
