Short Version

Bill 119 amends the Financial Administration Act to limit the issuance of special warrants to within 60 days of the Ontario Legislature's last sitting.

What It Means

Bill 119, also known as the Financial Administration Amendment Act (Special Warrants), 2013, changes the rules about when special warrants can be issued in Ontario. Previously, a special warrant could be issued at any time when the Ontario Legislature was not in session. This bill limits that ability, allowing a special warrant to be issued only if no more than 60 days have passed since the Legislature last met. The bill came into effect on the day it received Royal Assent.

What This Bill Does
  • Amends the Financial Administration Act to change the conditions under which special warrants can be issued when the Ontario Legislature is not in session.
  • Specifies that a special warrant can only be issued if no more than 60 days have passed since the Legislature was last in session.
  • Names itself the Financial Administration Amendment Act (Special Warrants), 2013.
  • States that it comes into force on the day it receives Royal Assent.
Who Is Affected
  • The Lieutenant Governor in Council (responsible for ordering special warrants)
  • The Ontario Legislature
Important Dates
