Here are the new laws and rules for Ontario starting in the new year

Impaired Driving:
Young and novice drivers will face longer licence suspensions for zero-tolerance violations, while repeat offenders will be subject to mandatory treatment programs.

Job Postings:
Employers with 25 or more workers will be required to post salary ranges in public job ads, with ranges start at $50,000. Postings where the top end of the range exceeds $200,000 annually are exempt from this rule.
In most cases, all forms of pay must be disclosed, including bonuses, commissions, and any other non-discretionary compensation on top of the salary.
Employers must also disclose the use of artificial intelligence in hiring and notify interviewed candidates of outcomes within 45 days.


Carbon Monoxide Alarm:
Requires carbon monoxide alarms on every floor of a home, even those without bedrooms. Landlords and building owners will be responsible for installation, testing, and maintenance, while tenants must report issues.

Vitamin D levels increase in milk and margarine:
New regulations that will roughly double the required vitamin D content in cow’s milk and margarine and increase allowed levels in goat’s milk.

Recycling Rules:
More materials like black plastic containers and beverage cups will become recyclable.

407 ETR tolls to rise
Tolls and transponder fees on Highway 407 are increasing, with some peak rates exceeding $1 per kilometre.
At the same time, the Route Relief Program will offer eligible households up to eight free trips per month.

Water and waste fees go up in Toronto
Toronto City Council has approved a 3.75-per cent interim increase to water rates and solid waste fees. For an average household, water costs will rise about $40 annually, while garbage collection fees will increase depending on bin size.

“As of Right” labour mobility
Ontario will allow qualified professionals from other provinces, including doctors, engineers, and electricians, to work in the province within 10 business days while completing registration.

Grocery Code of Conduct:
Sets standard for how grocers and suppliers do business with each other. While consumers shouldn’t expect immediate price drops, the code aims to stabilize food inflation and reduce disputes in the supply chain.

Greater Sudbury Police -- are reminding us to never pass a working snowplow - passing one is extremely dangerous for both you and the plow driver.

In September 2023, Ontario passed a law making it illegal to pass a working snowplow. Drivers can't pass snowplows working in echelon formation on multi-lane roads or highways with a speed limit of 80 km/h or more. Drivers can only pass if the lane is completely clear of any part of the plow, including its blade.

If you pass a working snowplow illegally, you could face a fine ranging from $150 to $1,000.

Why is illegally passing a working snowplow so dangerous?
◦ Snowplow blades can extend up to a meter or more ahead and to the right of the vehicle, often into the right-hand lane.
◦ Plows are wider at the front than they may appear from behind.
◦ Even at slower speeds, snowplows create a cloud of light powdery snow that significantly reduces visibility.
◦ The road surface is always better behind the plow than in front of it.

Slow down and stay safe! Snowplows are working hard to keep roads clear, and your patience and caution make a difference in keeping everyone safe.
