N.Y. Religious Corporations Law § 182-a: Increasing number of trustees

§ 182-a. Increasing number of trustees. The number of trustees may be

increased to not exceeding eleven by said board of trustees at any legal

meeting of the members, whereupon a certificate of such increase shall

be made, signed, acknowledged and filed by the existing trustees in the

manner provided by section one hundred and eighty for the execution and

filing of the certificate of incorporation, except that the consent and

approbation of a justice of the supreme court shall not be necessary to

the filing of such certificate. The additional trustees authorized by

such increase shall be supplied in the same manner as vacancies in the

original board of trustees; but there shall always be at least a

majority of the board who are not ministers of the gospel or priests of

any denomination.
