Rules for religious corporations
Updated: July 2024, 11
"Rules" are equivalent to the "Articles of Incorporation" of a corporation.
When establishing a religious corporation, these "regulations" must be created and certified by the competent authority.
Additionally, the regulations are required to be kept at the corporate office at all times.
Furthermore, when changing the rules, the changed rules must be certified.
