Bill > A1094

Introduced Session

This bill would revise the law concerning the disposition of assets of a county society for the prevention of cruelty to animals (county society) that has dissolved or has had its charter revoked, canceled, or suspended. Specifically, this bill would require each county society to provide in its bylaws for the disposition, after payment of any outstanding debts, of its assets should it dissolve or have its charter revoked, canceled, or suspended for any reason, to the Coalition of County SPCAs for distribution by the coalition to an appropriate entity or entities within the same county with a similar mission of promoting the interests of, and protecting and caring for, animals. The bill would require the assets of a county society that is dissolved or has its charter revoked, cancelled, or suspended, to be disposed of as provided by the applicable bylaws adopted for that purpose, and it would further specify that the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has (a) no claim whatsoever to the assets of such county society, and (b) no authority to determine the disposition of the county society's assets.
