On July 6, 2020, the Government of Alberta announced upcoming changes to the Health Professions Act through the Bill 30 Health Statutes Amendment Act. Bill 30 requires all health professional regulatory colleges in Alberta to increase public member representation on their councils, hearing tribunals and complaint review committees from the current 25 percent to 50 percent of the total members. The Bill passed into law on July 29, 2020. It will take effect April 1, 2021.

At this time, the government is working to design and deliver a transparent, non-political, competency-based process for colleges. We are preparing for changes in governance design and updating our bylaws and related procedures.
