Summary
Bill 22 is a private member's bill introduced by NDP MLA Claudia Chender from Dartmouth South in the Nova Scotia Legislature. It proposes changes to the House of Assembly Act, specifically relating to the scheduling and sittings of the House of Assembly — meaning when and how often the legislature is required to meet. The bill was introduced on February 20, 2025, and had its second reading debate on February 26, 2025. As a private member's bill introduced by an opposition party member, it faces a more difficult path to becoming law than government-sponsored legislation. Unfortunately, the full text of the specific amendments is not included in the provided bill content — only the legislative progress page and navigation information from the Nova Scotia Legislature website were provided. As a result, the precise changes proposed to sitting schedules or related rules cannot be fully detailed.
