From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (NSUARB) is the independent tribunal and regulating arm of the Government of Nova Scotia responsible for public utilities in the province.
NSUARB is governed under the Utility and Review Board Act, and reports directly to the Nova Scotia House of Assembly, currently through the Minister of Finance.
NSUARB was established in 1992 following the amalgamation of the former Board of Commissioners of Public Utilities, the Nova Scotia Municipal Board, the Expropriations Compensation Board and the Nova Scotia Tax Review Board.
NSUARB's responsibilities are quite broad and cover the following issues:

- gaming
- Halifax-Dartmouth Bridge Commission
- liquor licensing
- motor carrier division - buses
- natural gas
