What it does

AI plain-language summary of the official text.

Senate Public Bill S-241 proposes amendments to both the Criminal Code and the Indian Act. The bill was introduced in the Senate in November 2025 and passed second reading in March 2026. It is currently under consideration by a Senate committee, which is also conducting a pre-study of its provisions. The specific nature of the amendments will be examined further during the committee review process.

Passage outlook

Contested because it's a Senate public bill (which rarely passes), it's at committee.

Historically 10–30% of comparable federal bills became law (base rate 19%, n=103).

A transparent, rule-based outlook from bill type, stage, and verified government standing — not a guaranteed prediction.
