→Reporting society provisions
If a society was a reporting society under the old <i>Society Act</i>, it must incorporate new reporting society provisions into its bylaws. Reporting societies under the old Act include hospitals, insurance societies and other societies that require government consent to incorporate, as well as any society that has a subsidiary. (A society is not reporting just because it files annual reports with the Corporate Registry.)
The new reporting society provisions, which are in [http://www.canlii.org/en/bcca/lawst/regu/bc-reg-216-2015/latest/bc-reg-216-2015.html#Schedule_3__58546 8z1m Schedule 3 of the Societies Regulation], contain special rules, such as the requirement to have an auditor. These provisions <b>must be included without alteration </b>in the bylaws filed with the transition application. Once the provisions have been included in a society’s bylaws on transition, they can be altered like any other bylaw.
