EXPLANATORY NOTES

This Bill would amend the Highway Traffic Act to provide that municipal regulations made under the authority delegated to a municipality by the Minister of Works, Services and Transportation come into effect on the date of publication of a notice in the Gazette and a newspaper circulating in the municipality. At present a municipality is required to publish the regulations itself.

The Bill would also provide that regulations that a municipality made previously but that it may not have published are nevertheless valid.
