New Highway Traffic Act offences added for CVOR certificate holders and motor vehicle registrar non-compliance
PROCEEDINGS COMMENCED BY CERTIFICATE OF OFFENCE — under the Provincial Offences Act
Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice
This amendment adds two sets of new ticketable offences to the certificate-of-offence proceedings regulation. A new Schedule 44.1 lists three offences under Ontario Regulation 424/97 for CVOR (Commercial Vehicle Operator's Registration) certificate holders who fail to notify of a change in name, address, or officers and directors. Separately, Schedule 43 is updated to replace existing items with a single offence for failing to comply with a requirement of the Registrar of Motor Vehicles. Both changes are staged to take effect on a future date tied to the Safer Streets, Stronger Communities Act, 2024. Commercial vehicle operators and their organizations should review their CVOR notification obligations and ensure compliance processes are in place.
Who this affects: commercial vehicle operators · CVOR certificate holders · transportation companies with corporate officers or directors · fleet operators subject to Registrar of Motor Vehicles requirements
