413 - Dissolution.

  413.  Dissolution. (a) Whenever two-thirds of the voting members of
  the society, present at a meeting called for  that  purpose,  decide  to
  dissolve  the  corporation,  they  may,  by its duly elected officers or
  trustees or such agents as may  be  elected  at  such  meeting,  make  a
  petition to the supreme court for an order of dissolution.
(b) Such petition shall state:
(1) The particular reasons or causes why dissolution is sought.
(2)  The  location,  extent and estimated value of the property of the
  society.
(3) The particular object or purposes  to  which  it  is  proposed  to
  devote any surplus of the proceeds of such property, such purposes to be
  consistent  with  the  general  purposes  of  the Unitarian Universalist
  Association.
(4) The due compliance with the provisions of this section as  to  the
  authorization of the filing of the certificate of amendment.
(c)  Copy  of  the  petition  shall  be  mailed  to all members of the
  corporation and shall be published at  least  once  in  a  newspaper  of
  general circulation in the county where the society is located.
(d)  A  copy of the petition shall also be mailed, by registered mail,
  to the Unitarian Universalist Association.  The  dissolution  shall  not
  require  the  consent of the Unitarian Universalist Association, but the
  Unitarian Universalist Association shall have a right to be heard in the
  proceedings.
(e) Proof of the notices required by subdivisions (c) and  (d)  hereof
  shall  be  filed  with  the supreme court and no hearing on the petition
  shall be held by the supreme court until four weeks have  elapsed  after
  the giving of all such notices.
(f)  Upon  consideration  of  the petition presented to the court, and
  after any hearing which the court may  in  its  discretion  deem  to  be
  necessary  or appropriate to determine any facts pertinent to the relief
  requested in the petition, the court may order the  dissolution  of  the
  society,  and for that purpose and upon such terms and conditions deemed
  appropriate order and direct a  sale  and  conveyance  of  any  and  all
  property   belonging   to  such  society.     After  providing  for  the
  ascertaining and payment of the debts of the society and  the  necessary
  costs  and  expenses  of  such sale and proceedings for dissolution, the
  court may direct any surplus of the  proceeds  of  such  sale  remaining
  after  paying  such debts, costs and expenses, to be devoted and applied
  to any such religious, benevolent, educational or charitable objects  or
  purposes   consistent   with  the  general  purposes  of  the  Unitarian
  Universalist Association as the petitioners may suggest  and  the  court
  may approve.
