Stage
Introduced
This Nova Scotia bill proposes creating a registry for people who are medically at risk.
Key Changes
- Would create a new 'Medically at-Risk Registry' in Nova Scotia
- Would establish a formal process for identifying and recording individuals with medical vulnerabilities
- Likely intended to improve emergency response or care coordination for at-risk individuals
- Introduced as a Private Member's Bill by an Independent MLA
Gotchas
- The full bill text was not available in the provided content, so specific provisions, privacy protections, and eligibility criteria cannot be confirmed
- A registry of medically vulnerable individuals raises potential privacy and data security concerns that would need to be addressed in the legislation
- As a Private Member's Bill from an Independent MLA, it has a lower likelihood of passing without government support
- The bill had only reached First Reading as of the available information, meaning it is at a very early stage
Who's Affected
- Nova Scotia residents with medical conditions that increase their risk
- First responders and emergency services personnel
- Healthcare providers and administrators
- Provincial government agencies responsible for health data

Summary
Bill 113, introduced by Independent MLA Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin in March 2025, proposes the creation of a 'Medically at-Risk Registry' in Nova Scotia. The idea is to establish a formal list or database of individuals who have medical conditions that could put them at greater risk in certain situations, such as emergencies or when interacting with first responders. Unfortunately, the full text of the bill's specific provisions was not included in the provided content — only the legislative metadata and website navigation were captured. As a result, the precise details of how the registry would work, who could access it, how people would be added or removed, and what protections would be in place cannot be fully described based on the available information. The bill is a Private Member's Bill, meaning it was introduced by an individual MLA rather than the government, and it had its First Reading on March 25, 2025. It has not yet progressed beyond First Reading.
