Extraordinary 17th March, 2026

Eight new Bills are being circulated with this Extraordinary Gazette edition ahead of their introduction into Parliament. The Bills cover a broad range of policy areas including fatal accidents compensation, electronic crimes, special economic zones, forensic services, festivals administration, immigration and passports, magistrate court procedures, and advance passenger information. Each Bill represents proposed new or amended legislation for Antigua and Barbuda.

Three amendment orders (Statutory Instruments Nos. 26, 27, and 28 of 2026) have been issued under the Prevention of Terrorism Act, each amending the existing Security Council Resolution Order in accordance with updated United Nations Security Council directives. These orders are part of Antigua and Barbuda's ongoing obligations to implement international counter-terrorism measures. The orders vary in length and cost, reflecting differing levels of amendment detail.

Statutory Instrument No. 29 of 2026 establishes a new order under the Prevention of Terrorism Act that provides for the freezing of accounts and property belonging to specified entities designated as terrorism-related. This order is consistent with international counter-terrorism frameworks and United Nations Security Council obligations. It introduces a formal mechanism for asset freezing targeting named individuals or organisations linked to terrorism.
