UNINCORPORATED NONPROFIT

ASSOCIATIONS

[§ 9101.  Customary parliamentary law applicable.

Except as otherwise provided by statute or by the organic

documents under which an unincorporated association is

constituted, each unincorporated association shall be governed

by customary usages and principles of parliamentary law and

procedure.

§ 9102.  Funeral and similar benefits.

§ 9103.  Nontransferable membership interests.

(a)  General rule.--For the purpose of encouraging lawful

associational activity among agricultural and industrial workers

through the organization of unincorporated associations for

mutual benefit insurance, saving or other lawful objects where

the persons so organizing derive benefits from the preservation

and continuance of the membership and interest among persons

engaged in a common calling, labor or enterprise, the

unincorporated association may provide, in its organic

documents, that membership in the association or interest in its

funds or property shall be nontransferable without the consent

of the association.

(b)  Assignments and pledges.--No attempted assignment,

transfer or pledge of a membership or interest made in violation

of a transfer restriction adopted pursuant to subsection (a)

shall pass any right or interest, legal or equitable, to the

person to whom it is attempted to be made if the transfer

restriction is brought to the knowledge of that person.

(c)  Knowledge of nontransferability.--Whenever the interest

of a member in the funds or property of any unincorporated

association subject to subsection (a) is evidenced by a

certificate, an endorsement thereon that the certificate is

nontransferable shall be conclusive evidence that the person to

whom any attempted assignment, transfer or pledge of the

certificate is made has knowledge of the nontransferable

character of the interest of the member.]

Section 3.  Title 15 is amended by adding sections to read:

§ 9111.  Short title and application of chapter.

(a)  Short title.--This chapter shall be known and may be

cited as the Pennsylvania Uniform Unincorporated Nonprofit

Association Law.

(b)  Transitional provisions concerning property.--

(1)    If, before {the Legislative Reference Bureau shall

insert here the effective date of this chapter}, an interest

in property was by the terms of a transfer purportedly

transferred to a nonprofit association but under the law of

this Commonwealth the interest did not vest in the nonprofit

association, or in one or more persons on behalf of the

nonprofit association under paragraph (2), on {the

Legislative Reference Bureau shall insert here the effective

date of this chapter}, the interest vests in the nonprofit

association, unless the parties to the transfer have treated

the transfer as ineffective.

(2)    If, before {the Legislative Reference Bureau shall

insert here the effective date of this chapter}, an interest

in property was by the terms of a transfer purportedly

transferred to a nonprofit association but the interest was

vested in one or more persons to hold the interest for the

nonprofit association, its members or both, on or after {the

Legislative Reference Bureau shall insert here the effective

date of this chapter}, the persons, or their successors in

interest, may transfer the interest to the nonprofit

association in its name; or the nonprofit association may

require that the interest be transferred to it in its name.

(c)  Savings provisions.--

(1)    This chapter supplements the law of this

Commonwealth that applies to nonprofit associations operating

in this Commonwealth, but if a conflict exists between this

chapter and other law, the other law applies.

supersede any provision in section 7 of the act of April 26,

that expressly provides that the relationship between the

parties does not create a nonprofit association.

§ 9113.  Governing law.

(a)  Operations.--Except as provided in subsection (b), the

law of this Commonwealth governs the operation in this

Commonwealth of all nonprofit associations formed or operating

in this Commonwealth.

(b)  Internal affairs.--Unless the governing principles

specify a different jurisdiction, the law of the jurisdiction in

which a nonprofit association has its main place of activities

governs the internal affairs of the nonprofit association.

§ 9114.  Entity status.

(a)  Legal entity.--A nonprofit association is a legal entity

distinct from its members and managers.

(b)    Perpetual duration.--A nonprofit association has

perpetual duration unless the governing principles specify

otherwise.

(c)    Powers.--A nonprofit association has the same powers as

an individual to do all things necessary or convenient to carry

on its purposes.

making activities, but profits from any activities must be used

or set aside for the nonprofit purposes of the nonprofit

association.

§ 9115.  Ownership and transfer of property.

(a)  General rule.--A nonprofit association may acquire,

hold, encumber or transfer in its name an interest in real or

personal property.

(b)  Testamentary and fiduciary dispositions.--A nonprofit

association may be a beneficiary of a trust or contract, a

legatee or a devisee.

§ 9116.  Statement of authority as to real property.

(a)  General rule.--An interest in real property held in the

name of a nonprofit association may be encumbered or transferred

by a person authorized to do so in a statement of authority

recorded by the nonprofit association in the office of the

recorder of deeds for the county in which a transfer of the

property would be recorded.

(b)  Contents of statement.--The statement of authority must

set forth:

(1)  the name of the nonprofit association;

(2)    the address in this Commonwealth, including the

street and number, if any, of the nonprofit association or,

if the nonprofit association does not have an address in this

Commonwealth, its address outside of this Commonwealth;

(3)    that the association is a nonprofit association; and

(4)  the name, title or position of a person authorized

to encumber or transfer an estate or interest in real

property held in the name of the nonprofit association.

authorized in the statement to encumber or transfer an estate or

interest.

(d)    Recording fee.--The recorder of deeds may collect a fee

for recording a statement of authority in the amount authorized

for recording a transfer of real property, but the mere

recording of a statement of authority does not constitute a

transfer of an interest in the real property for the purpose of

the taxation of real property transfers.

(e)  Changes.--A document amending, revoking or canceling a

statement of authority or stating that the statement is

unauthorized or erroneous must meet the requirements for

executing and recording an original statement.

recording.

(g)  Effect of filing.--If the record title to real property

is in the name of a nonprofit association and a statement of

authority is recorded in the office of the recorder of deeds for

the county in which a transfer of the property would be

recorded, the authority of the person named in the statement to

encumber or transfer is conclusive in favor of a person that

gives value without notice that the person lacks authority.

§ 9117.  Liability.

(a)  General rule.--A debt, obligation or other liability of

a nonprofit association, whether arising in contract, tort or

otherwise:

(1)    is solely the debt, obligation or other liability of

the nonprofit association; and

(2)  does not become a debt, obligation or other

liability of a member or manager solely:

manager; or

(ii)  because:

(A)  a member acts as a member; or

(B)  a manager acts as a manager.

(b)  Liability for conduct.--A person's status as a member or

manager does not prevent or restrict law other than this chapter

from imposing liability on the person or the nonprofit

association because of the person's conduct.

(c)  Agents.--A person that makes a contract or incurs an

obligation on behalf of a nonprofit association after {the

Legislative Reference Bureau shall insert here the effective

date of this chapter} is not liable for performance or breach of

acting for the nonprofit association was disclosed to, was known

by or reasonably should have been known by the other party to

the contract or to the party owed performance.

§ 9118.  Assertion and defense of claims.

(a)  General rule.--A nonprofit association may sue or be

sued in its own name.

(b)  Permissible claims.--A member or manager may assert a

claim the member or manager has against the nonprofit

association. A nonprofit association may assert a claim it has

against a member or manager.

(c)  Representational status.--A nonprofit association may

assert a claim in its name on behalf of its members if one or

more members of the nonprofit association have standing to

assert a claim in their own right, the interests the nonprofit

association seeks to protect are germane to its purposes and

neither the claim asserted nor the relief requested requires the

participation of a member.

§ 9119.  Effect of judgment or order.

A judgment or order against a nonprofit association is not by

itself a judgment or order against a member or manager.

§ 9120.  Appointment of agent to receive service of process.

(a)  General rule.--A nonprofit association may deliver to

the department for filing a statement appointing an agent to

receive service of process.

(b)  Contents of statement.--A statement appointing an agent

authorized to manage the affairs of the nonprofit association

and by the person appointed as the agent. By signing the

statement the person becomes the agent.

cancellation of a statement appointing an agent to receive

service of process must meet the requirements for signature of

an original statement. An agent may resign by delivering a

resignation to the department for filing and giving notice to

the nonprofit association.

(e)    Cross references.--See section 135 (relating to

requirements to be met by filed documents).

managers.
