AUTHORITY OF ATTORNEY GENERAL REGARDING CHARITABLE ASSETS (§ 2.2-507.1)

as are established by the governing documents of such charitable corporation,
the gift or bequest made to such charitable corporation, or other applicable
law. The Attorney General shall have the same authority to act on behalf of the

unincorporated charitable trusts and other charitable entities, including the
authority to seek such judicial relief as may be necessary to protect the public
interest in such assets.

conduct applicable under existing law to the directors of charitable
corporations incorporated in or doing any business in Virginia.
