Alberta — Bills

Bill No. 41 of 1943. A ~ILL TO AMEND THE PUBLIC SERVICE VEHICLES ACT. NOTE.

Section of the Bill, which enacts a new

section 35, ex tends the power of the Highway Traffic Board to exempt public service vehicles from the necessity of being equipped with a liquid fire extinguisher. Formerly this, exemption was limited to the vehicles used exclusively for transport ing certain commodities. The amendment removes this limitation and also enables the Board to exempt classes of vehicles as well as individual vehicles. The new

section 38, enacted by

section of the Bill, en ables the Board to exempt classes of public service vehicles from the requirement as to being equipped with one extra serviceable tire. The provision in subsection (2) of the new

section is new. The change made by

section of the Bill, amending sec tion of the Act, is to abolish the minimum fine of ten dollars for the first offence against provisions of the Act for which no penalty is elsewhere provided. Most of these offences are trivial and the change will give a magistrate discretion to impose a fine of less than ten dollars if the circumstances warrant. W. S. GRAY, Acting Legislative Counsel.
