Bill 9: An Act Respecting the Emergency 911 Act

This bill primarily affects organizations that operate or work alongside New Brunswick's 911 infrastructure — including municipal and provincial emergency dispatch centres, ambulance operators like EM/ANB Inc., and government departments such as Transportation and Infrastructure. Day-to-day, this means dispatch centre staff and emergency service providers must now follow stricter rules about when and how they can share caller and incident information with colleagues at other centres. Any organization that handles 911-related data will need to ensure staff understand the new mandatory disclosure rules and the prohibition on unauthorized use of that information, or face category F offence penalties. The impact falls mainly on public-sector and quasi-public emergency service organizations in New Brunswick rather than typical private businesses.
