What powers does Bill 10 provide to local government?
Bill 10 provides enabling powers for local governments to achieve compliance with the upcoming new green provisions of the building code. It also provides local government with authority to make building bylaws relating to the accessibility of buildings for people with disabilities. Any technical building bylaws are subject to concurrent authority. This means that the Province must be consulted and must agree with any local building bylaws which would impose technical building standards different than those established by the Province.
