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.

What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The single sentence this Act writes into section 70512 of title 36, United States Code, with both of the conditions it attaches to the distribution.

Nothing in the section is left out.

The section replaces section 70512 of title 36, United States Code, which is not indexed here, so nothing is recorded about the wording it replaces. The charter and bylaws the distribution is to comply with are not indexed here.
