Relates to the court approval process for the sale, mortgage and lease of real property of a religious corporation

This bill modifies New York's religious corporations law to change court approval requirements for property transactions. It specifically removes the need for the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America to notify the Attorney General about property sales, mortgages, or leases, and requires its trustees to obtain the archbishop's consent before such transactions. Other religious corporations (like Episcopal, Catholic, and Methodist churches) must now include in their petitions that they've complied with these updated rules. The changes apply only to the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese for property decisions, while other churches face updated petition requirements. The bill became law on September 26, 2025 (Chapter 417).
