BILL NUMBER:A10760
Title of bill
An act to amend the religious corporations law, in relation to the annual election of the trustees of a free Methodist church
Purpose or general idea of bill
The purpose of this legislation is to eliminate the time period during which a free Methodist church must hold its annual election of trustees.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1: Subdivision 1 of section 225-f of the religious corporations law, is amended. Section 2: Effec- tive Date,
Justification
This legislation has been requested by the free Metho- dist church because current law stipulates that the church must elect trustees within tree months of when they hold their annual conference.
This is problematic because the church's annual society meeting to elect trustees cannot be held until June or July, which is longer than the three months currently required.
Other denominations do not have such restrictions, and they have requested the change in law to help them administer their organization more effectively.
Prior legislative history
This is new legislation.
Fiscal implications
This legislation will have no fiscal implications for State or local governments.
Effective date
This act shall take effect immediately.
