Summary
Bill 136 is a Private Member's Bill introduced by Liberal MLA Derek Mombourquette in the Nova Scotia Legislature on September 24, 2025. It proposes changes to the existing Consumer Reporting Act, which is the provincial law that governs how consumer reporting agencies (like credit bureaus) collect, store, and share personal financial information about Nova Scotians. Unfortunately, the full text of the specific amendments is not included in the provided document — only the bill's title, sponsor, and legislative progress are shown. Without the actual amendment text, it is not possible to describe the precise changes being proposed. The bill was introduced at First Reading and has not yet progressed further in the legislative process. The Consumer Reporting Act generally protects consumers by setting rules around credit reports, background checks, and the use of personal financial data by businesses and lenders. Any amendments to this Act would likely affect consumers, lenders, employers, and credit reporting agencies operating in Nova Scotia.
