N.Y. Religious Corporations Law § 414: Amendment

§ 414. Amendment. A society may amend its certificate of incorporation

at any time, provided that such amendment contains only such provisions

as might be properly contained in an original certificate of

incorporation filed at the time of making such amendment. Any such

amendment must be authorized by vote of two-thirds of the members of the

society present and voting at a meeting called for that purpose. A

certificate amending the certificate of incorporation shall be signed

and verified by the president or chairman of the board of trustees,

shall be filed in the same manner as an original certificate of

incorporation and shall contain the following:

(1) The name of the society and, if it has been changed, the name

under which it was originally incorporated.

(2) The date and place of filing of the original certificate of

incorporation and any subsequent amendments thereto.

(3) Each amendment effected thereby.

(4) A statement as to due compliance with the provisions in this

section as to the authorization of the filing of the certificate of

amendment.
