That sentence, in plain words

When the group shuts down, it must first pay all it owes. What is left is then handed out. The board says where it goes. The charter and the rules must be met.

What this is about

To shut down is to end the group for good. Debts come first. Only then is the rest handed out.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
