SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)
Study; incorporation of churches. Establishes a joint subcommittee to study the issues attendant to the incorporation of churches in Virginia. The joint subcommittee shall examine, among other issues it deems appropriate, (i) whether churches properly can incorporate in those portions of the state not covered by the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia's ruling; (ii) how unincorporated churches should transition from "trustee" ownership to "corporate" ownership of real property; and (iii) whether statutory restrictions on the amount of real property a church may hold apply to incorporated churches. The joint subcommittee shall submit its findings and recommendations to the 2005 Session of the General Assembly.
