The British Columbia government has brought sections 5 through 8 of the Attorney General Statutes Amendment Act, 2025 into force by order-in-council. This regulation does not itself set out substantive rules; it is the commencement instrument that activates those four sections of the parent Act. Anyone affected by sections 5–8 of that Act should now treat those provisions as operative. If your organization's legal or compliance obligations touch on attorney general statutes amended by S.B.C. 2025, c. 16, you should review those specific sections to understand what new requirements or changes now apply.
