Summary

The bill requires a two‑thirds vote of a local congregation to disaffiliate from its parent denomination. It then determines ownership of real estate, personal belongings, and financial assets by classifying each type of property and looking at who paid for it. Local groups can keep property they mostly funded, while the parent body must be reimbursed for its contributions.
