A bill to amend 1889 PA 39, entitled “An act to authorize the formation of corporations for the purchase and improvement of grounds to be occupied for summer homes, for camp-meetings, for meetings of assemblies or associations and societies organized for intellectual and scientific culture and for the promotion of the cause of religion and morality, or for any or all of such purposes; and to impose certain duties on the department of commerce,” (MCL 455.51 to 455.72) by adding section 12a.
House Bills 4977 and 4988 would amend 1889 PA 39 and the Nonprofit Corporation Act, respectively, to allow summer resort and assembly associations formed under 1889 PA 39 to convert into domestic nonprofit corporations. 1889 PA 39 allows for the formation of corporations for the purchase and improvement of land for summer homes, camp meetings, or meetings of groups organized for intellectual and scientific culture or for the promotion of religion and morality. The bills would allow an association formed under 1889 PA 39 to convert into a domestic nonprofit corporation by satisfying requirements of the Nonprofit Corporation Act concerning the conversion of a business organization into a domestic corporation1 and adopting bylaws in accordance with the Nonprofit Corporation Act.
