16:3-6. Reincorporation under this chapter
Any church of Christ, Scientist, which is a branch of and organized in accordance with the provisions of the manual of the mother church and incorporated under the provisions of any general, special or private act of this state, may incorporate under this chapter upon complying with sections 16:3-1 to 16:3-3 of this title, in the same manner as if it had not previously been incorporated. Where the trustees of the congregation of such church, so seeking to incorporate, are incorporated under article 1 of chapter 1 of this title (s. 16:1-1 et seq.), such congregation shall first decide, by a two-thirds vote of those present at a regular or special meeting duly called for that purpose, that the new corporation, when duly organized under this chapter, shall be entitled to and invested with all the real and personal estate of the old corporation, in like manner and to the same extent as the old corporation, subject to all its debts and liabilities. The certificate of the new corporation shall set forth that such congregational meeting was duly called and a copy of the resolution adopted at the meeting. Thereupon the former corporation shall be dissolved and the new corporation shall be entitled to and invested with all the real and personal estate of the former corporation, in like manner and to the same extent as the former corporation, but subject to all its debts and liabilities.
