Forestry Service Providers Protection Act, of Liens and Charges

Delivering on a promise first made at the Truck Loggers convention in January, 2009,  the government introduced Bill 21, the “Forestry Service Providers Protection Act” for a first reading on April 29, 2010.  The Act does three things for those who provide services to the forest industry in BC -- creates liens, establishes charges over accounts receiveable, and enables the creation of a trust fund -- which are described in detail in this bulletin.
