Bill 28: The Public Libraries Amendment Act, 2025

This bill primarily affects public library boards and municipal governments rather than private businesses directly. The most notable impact is on the City of Lloydminster, a border city operating under a unique interprovincial framework — the bill clarifies that a three-way funding agreement between Saskatchewan, Alberta, and the City must govern its municipal library board. Library boards across Saskatchewan will also need to adapt to updated public notice procedures, now permitted to publish notices in online newspapers and send communications by email rather than relying solely on print circulation and postal mail. The changes are administrative in nature and do not impose new compliance burdens on private sector businesses.
