BILL NUMBER:S3436 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the not-for-profit corporation law, in relation to independent directors and related party transactions; and repealing certain provisions of such law relating thereto SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 - repeals paragraph (f) of section 713 of the Not-For-Profit Corporation Law. Section 2 - amends subparagraphs 21 and 24 of paragraph (a) of section 102 of the Not-For-Profit Corporation Law. Section 3 - effective date.
