Overview of Alberta's July 30, 2026 Insurance Orders in Council

Alberta’s July 30, 2026 Orders in Council supplied much of the regulatory machinery for the province’s Care-First automobile-insurance system. The five central regulations address permanent impairment, the appeal tribunal, treatment and care, exclusions and tort-bar exceptions, and income-replacement and monetary benefits. Alberta says the new system starts January 1, 2027. Claims arising before that date generally remain under the earlier regime, so the accident date matters. This is a dated implementation overview, current to September 18, 2026. It separates rules that have been enacted from forms and operational material that were still being finalized.
