Correction: Coming into force of Bill 31

In an earlier blog entry, I suggested that the bulk of Ontario's Personal Health Information Protection Act will come into force on January 1, 2005. That was incorrect. The version of the bill passed by the legislature had November 1, 2004 as the effective date:

PART IX COMMENCEMENT AND SHORT TITLE

Commencement

99. (1) Subject to subsection (2), this Schedule comes into force on the day the Health Information Protection Act, 2004

receives Royal Assent.

Same

(2) Sections 1 to 72 and 75 to 98 come into force on November 1, 2004.

Short title

100. The short title of the Act set out in this Schedule is the Personal Health Information Protection Act, 2004.
