Bill 57: The Information Services Corporation Amendment Act, 2026

This bill primarily affects ISC and ISC Saskatchewan Inc., which run land titles, personal property, and corporate registries in Saskatchewan — services that real estate professionals, lawyers, lenders, and businesses across the province rely on daily for property searches, title transfers, and corporate filings. The changes tighten rules around any sale or restructuring of ISC that could move its intellectual property or core functions out of Saskatchewan, which matters to anyone who depends on local continuity of those registry services. The provincial government retains a 'golden share' that can survive corporate reorganizations, meaning ISC can't be quietly restructured away from provincial oversight through a plan of arrangement. The reduction in government-appointed board members (down to 2) signals a lighter regulatory hand, but the new IP and asset transfer restrictions actually add compliance obligations for ISC if it ever considers a merger, acquisition, or restructuring.
