Summary

Bill 102 is a Private Member's Bill introduced by Independent MLA Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin from Cumberland North on March 20, 2025. It proposes changes to two existing Nova Scotia laws: the Fisheries and Coastal Resources Act (from 1996) and the Wildlife Act (from 1989). However, the full text of the specific amendments is not included in the available document — only the bill's title, introduction details, and legislative progress information are shown. Because the actual amendment text is not available, it is not possible to describe exactly what changes are being proposed to fisheries management, coastal resources, or wildlife rules in Nova Scotia. The bill is at the First Reading stage, meaning it has just been introduced and has not yet been debated or passed. This bill was introduced by an Independent MLA, meaning it is not a government priority bill and may face a harder path to becoming law without party support.
