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 specifically affect the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. It removes the requirement for the Archdiocese to notify the Attorney General about property transactions and adds a new rule requiring its trustees to obtain the archbishop's consent before mortgaging, leasing, or selling real property. The bill also updates petition requirements for various religious corporations (including Protestant Episcopal, Roman Catholic, and Methodist churches) to include a statement confirming compliance with this new provision. These changes apply directly to the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese's property transactions while updating procedures for other religious entities.
