N.Y. Not-for-Profit Corporation Law § 1615: Construction, intent and scope

§ 1615. Construction, intent and scope.

The provisions of this article shall be construed liberally to

effectuate the legislative intent and the purposes as complete and

independent authorization for the performance of each and every act and

thing authorized by this article, and all powers granted shall be

broadly interpreted to effectuate the intent and purposes and not as a

limitation of powers. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this

article, in the exercise of its powers and duties under this article and

its powers relating to property held by the land bank, the land bank

shall have complete control as fully and completely as if it represented

a private property owner and shall not be subject to restrictions

imposed by the charter, ordinances, or resolutions of a local unit of

government.
