Summary
Bill 45, called the Local Action on Climate Change Support Act, was introduced by NDP MLA Kendra Coombes in the Nova Scotia Legislature on February 26, 2025. The bill's stated purpose is to help local communities and municipalities take action on climate change, though the full text of the bill's specific provisions was not included in the available document. Because only the legislative record page was provided — and not the actual bill text — it is not possible to summarize the specific measures, funding mechanisms, or requirements the bill would create. What is known is that it is a Private Member's Bill introduced by the NDP, meaning it was brought forward by an opposition member rather than the governing party, and as of the information available, it had only passed First Reading. Private Member's Bills in Nova Scotia face a higher bar to become law, as they require government support to advance. This bill was referred to the Public Bills Committee stage process.
