The BC government has passed the\u00a0Miscellaneous Statutes Amendment Act (No. 2)<\/em>, 2018, S.B.C. 2018, c. 23 (Bill 24)<\/a>, which provides additional clarity around higher-threshold special resolutions, auditors, and record production.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On April 26, 2018, the\u00a0Miscellaneous Statutes Amendment Act (No. 2)\u00a0<\/em>passed third reading, with most provisions relating to\u00a0Societies Act\u00a0<\/em>clean-up on hold until such time as a regulation is passed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council. The various changes (not yet in force), include:<\/p>\n Certain other minor changes are introduced as well. The above changes are those which have yet to come into force by regulation.<\/p>\n None of these are particularly ground breaking, but they will assist individuals who are not lawyers in interpreting the provisions of the Societies Act, particularly in regards to high-threshold special resolutions (which I am regularly asked about, even prior to the act coming into force).<\/p>\n Photo by\u00a0Chris Higgins<\/a>\u00a0used under a\u00a0Creative Commons license<\/a>.
