Summary
Bill 212, introduced by Nova Scotia's Minister of Housing John White, is a government bill that establishes administrative measures related to housing in Nova Scotia. It was passed through all stages of the legislature and received Royal Assent on April 9, 2026, becoming Chapter 1 of the 2026 Statutes of Nova Scotia. Unfortunately, the full text of the bill's specific provisions was not included in the provided content — only the legislative progress information and website navigation were provided. As a result, it is not possible to summarize the specific changes, rules, or programs this bill creates. What is known is that most of the bill came into force immediately on April 9, 2026, while Sections 1, 8, 9, and 15 require a separate proclamation before they take effect. The bill was introduced in February 2026, debated through March, amended in committee, and passed third reading in April 2026. Its focus on 'administrative measures' suggests it deals with the processes, rules, or structures around how housing programs or policies are managed in Nova Scotia.
