This bill would broaden the rules about when certain music videos, sports video works and documentaries must be classified. It extends the criteria for losing their exemption from classification, so more of these works would need an official age rating. In effect, more video content would fall under the formal classification system.
The bill is at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons. After this, it would typically move to committee stage for detailed examination before progressing further.
