Bill PR62 amends the Groves Memorial Community Hospital Act, 2002 to transfer certain property interests between the Township of Centre Wellington and Groves Memorial Community Hospital.
Bill PR62 is a special law that changes how property is owned between the Township of Centre Wellington and Groves Memorial Community Hospital. Before this bill, the Township held legal title to certain property that was being used by or held in trust for the hospital. The bill makes two main changes: 1. It transfers most property interests that the Township held for the hospital directly to the hospital corporation, so the hospital becomes the full legal owner. 2. However, some specific properties listed in the bill work differently: - Two properties (the Old Groves Hospital Property and Parking Lot Property, identified by property identification numbers) are transferred to the hospital corporation. - Two other properties (the River Property and Queen Street Property) are transferred back to the Township, so the Township becomes the full owner of those properties. The bill came into force on March 31, 2022, when it received Royal Assent. Both the Township and the hospital corporation requested this change through special legislation.
- Repeals and replaces Section 6 of the Groves Memorial Community Hospital Act, 2002
- Transfers most property interests held by the Township of Centre Wellington for the hospital to the Groves Memorial Community Hospital corporation as legal and beneficial owner
