Summary
Bill 156, the Bridgewater Museum Commission Dissolution Act, is a private and local bill introduced in the Nova Scotia Legislature that officially dissolves the Bridgewater Museum Commission. This type of bill applies to a specific local body rather than the province as a whole. The bill was introduced by MLA Becky Druhan, representing Lunenburg West, and moved quickly through the legislative process, receiving Royal Assent on October 3, 2025. By dissolving the Commission, the bill ends the legal existence of this particular governing body for the Bridgewater Museum. This kind of legislation is typically introduced when a local commission is no longer needed, has been replaced by another governing structure, or when a municipality takes over responsibility for a facility previously managed by a separate commission.
