Summary

The Statute Law Amendment Act, 2025 corrects minor errors in eleven existing Saskatchewan laws. The bill updates outdated cross-references to repealed or renamed statutes, fixes typographical errors in both English and French versions, corrects the spelling of organization names, and replaces gendered pronouns with gender-neutral language in the English version of The Vital Statistics Act, 2009.

This bill is a routine housekeeping measure that fixes technical problems in existing Saskatchewan laws. It updates references that pointed to old legislation that has been repealed or renamed, such as changing references from The Saskatchewan Insurance Act to The Insurance Act. It corrects spelling mistakes, including a French translation error and the misspelling of the Western Canada Lottery Corporation's name. It also updates the titles of the Chief Justice and Associate Chief Justice to include the words "Court of" before "King's Bench." In the French version of several acts, it replaces outdated references to "Sa Majesté la Reine" (Her Majesty the Queen) with "la Couronne" (the Crown). Finally, it modernizes language in The Vital Statistics Act, 2009 by replacing gendered pronouns like "his or her" with gender-neutral alternatives. None of these changes alter the substance of the laws, they simply ensure the text is accurate and up to date.
