Bill PR32 repeals two previous special acts governing Groves Memorial Community Hospital because the hospital has been incorporated under general provincial not-for-profit legislation.
Groves Memorial Community Hospital is a hospital in Ontario that was previously governed by special legislation passed just for it. The hospital has now chosen to be governed instead by the general Not-for-Profit Corporations Act, 2010, which applies to many non-profit organizations in Ontario. To complete this transition, the hospital asked the Ontario legislature to repeal the two old special acts that governed it: the Groves Memorial Community Hospital Act, 2002 and the Groves Memorial Community Hospital Act, 2022. Bill PR32 does this. The bill repeals both of these acts and comes into force immediately upon receiving Royal Assent on December 11, 2025. This is a technical legislative cleanup to align the hospital's legal status with its actual current incorporation status.
