Legislation

On January 1, 2002, the Provincial government introduced the new Revised Statutes of Alberta. Encompassing all of the province’s legislation, the revision resulted in consistent numbering schemes, the elimination of references to "he" or "she" and other minor administrative changes. The Board is affected by the: LRC, PSERA, POCBA and the Managerial Exclusion Act.

The major implication appears to be the renumbering of all the sections past section 9. These changes are not to be confused with the proposed substantive review of the LRC, which the Ministry may undertake in the future.

Copies of the Labour Relations Code, Public Service Employee Relations Act, and the Police Officers Collective Bargaining Act are available from the Queen's Printer.

The Board administers the:

Labour Relations Code,

Public Service Employee Relations Act, and the

Police Officers Collective Bargaining Act.
