What this bill does
This Prince Edward Island bill creates a formal process allowing people who may be at risk of intimate partner violence to apply to a police service for a risk assessment and disclosure of information about the threat posed by their intimate partner, while protecting the partner's personal information and restricting how the disclosed risk information can be used.
Plain-language summary by Legisail — not legal advice.
Business impact
Compliance
This bill is primarily a public safety and policing measure and does not directly regulate businesses, employers, or commercial activity. It applies to police services operating in Prince Edward Island, who must develop application processes, conduct risk assessments, and make verbal in-person disclosures. Organizations that may be designated by regulation as 'designated persons' — potentially including social workers, shelters, or victim services organizations — could take on a supporting administrative role in submitting applications on behalf of at-risk individuals. There is no direct impact on typical private-sector businesses in terms of operations, hiring, or costs.
