Bill 74: Christopher's Law (Sex Offender Registry) Amendment Act (Information Disclosure), 2025

This bill primarily affects government agencies, police services, and entities that may be prescribed by regulation to receive sex offender registry information in Ontario. Organizations that could potentially be prescribed — such as community safety organizations, border agencies, or other law enforcement-adjacent bodies — may need to enter into formal data-sharing agreements with the Ontario Ministry before receiving registry information. For most private businesses, there is no direct operational impact. However, organizations working in fields like child care, education, or community safety that might be designated as prescribed entities would need to comply with new data handling and information-sharing protocols.
