     317A.051 Scope of chapter. 

    Subdivision 1.    General.  This chapter does not apply 
 to cooperative associations, public cemetery corporations and 
 associations, and private cemeteries. 

    Subd. 2.    Religious corporations.  This chapter does 
 not apply to a religious corporation authorized by chapter 315 
 unless it is formed under this chapter or elects to be governed 
 by this chapter as provided in section 317A.021.  Regardless of 
 whether it is formed or elects to be governed by this chapter, a 
 religious corporation may elect to be governed by sections 
 317A.601 to 317A.671 without electing to come under the entire 
 chapter.  If a religious corporation elects to be governed by 
 sections 317A.601 to 317A.671, it shall record its documents 
 with the county recorder of the county where its registered 
 office is located instead of the secretary of state.
