An Act to amend the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector

Quebec's PL 96 (the bill carrying the National Assembly number 96 in the 43rd Legislature) amends the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (CQLR c. P-39.1, the substantive content of Law 25 of 2021). The 2021 reform of Quebec's privacy regime fully took effect on September 22, 2024 with mandatory privacy-impact assessments, breach-notification rules, and an enforcement framework with maximum administrative monetary penalties up to $10 million or four percent of global turnover. This first substantive 2025 amendment adjusts AI-system disclosure requirements, clarifies cross-border data-transfer rules to satisfy the European Commission adequacy review, and updates the powers of the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec.
