2003 - 2004 LEGISLATURE
December 3, 2003 - Introduced by Senator Wirch, by request of Jerome Malsack.
Referred to Committee on Judiciary, Corrections and Privacy.
SB335,1,2
1An Act to amend 187.19 (11) of the statutes;
relating to: defunct incorporated
2Roman Catholic congregations.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law specifies how title passes when an incorporated Roman Catholic
congregation becomes defunct or is dissolved. This bill removes the relevant
references to defunct congregations. Thus, under this bill, the law will specify how
title passes when an incorporated Roman Catholic congregation is dissolved, but not
when such a congregation becomes defunct.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
SB335, s. 1
3Section
1. 187.19 (11) of the statutes is amended to read:
SB335,2,24

5shall become defunct or be is dissolved
the its property

6of the diocese in which
such the corporation is located,
and except that, if within three
7years from the date of
such dissolution
said the congregation
be is reincorporated in
8the manner prescribed by this section
, the
said property
so belonging to
such defunct
1or dissolved the corporation at the time of its dissolution shall vest in
such the new
2corporation.
