     § 5766.  Termination and transfer of membership.
        (a)  General rule.--Membership in a nonprofit corporation
     shall be terminated in the manner provided in a bylaw adopted by
     the members. If the membership in any such corporation is
     limited to persons who are members in good standing in another
     corporation, or in any lodge, church, club, society or other
     entity or organization, the bylaws shall in each case define
     such limitations, and may provide that failure on the part of
     any such member to keep himself in good standing in such other
     entity or organization shall be sufficient cause for expelling
     the member from the corporation requiring such eligibility.
        (b)  Expulsion.--
            (1)  No member shall be expelled from any nonprofit
        corporation without notice, trial and conviction, the form of
        which shall be prescribed by the bylaws.
            (2)  Paragraph (1) of this subsection shall not apply to
        termination of membership pursuant to section 5544(c)
        (relating to enforcement of payment of fees, dues and
        assessments).
        (c)  Effect of termination of membership.--Unless otherwise
     provided in the bylaws, the right of a member of a nonprofit
     corporation to vote, and his right, title and interest in or to
     the corporation or its property, shall cease on the termination
     of his membership.
        (d)  Transfer of membership.--Unless otherwise provided in
     the bylaws, no member may transfer his membership or any right
     arising therefrom.
