Summary
This document is not a single bill but rather a legislative status report from the New Brunswick Legislative Assembly. It tracks the progress of all 33 bills introduced during the 61st Legislature's 2nd Session, which began in 2025. The report shows where each bill stands in the lawmaking process: first reading, second reading, committee review, third reading, and royal assent. Of the 33 bills listed, 30 are government bills, 2 are private bills, and 1 is a private member's public bill. As of the document's last update, 21 bills have received royal assent and become law. Topics covered range from employment standards and pay transparency to court procedures, pension benefits, and free trade within Canada. One bill — An Act Respecting the Right to a Healthy Environment (Bill 23) — was defeated at second reading on March 26, 2026. Several other bills, including those dealing with apprenticeship certification and an ancient right, are still in early stages of the legislative process.
