     3    § 28. Electronic  meetings.  Notwithstanding  any  provision  of  law,
     4  certificate of incorporation or by-laws to the contrary, if the board of
     5  trustees of a religious corporation is authorized to determine the place
     6  of  trustee meetings, corporate meetings, congregant or membership meet-
     7  ings, the board of trustees may, in its sole discretion, determine  that
     8  the  meeting  shall  be  held partially or solely by means of electronic
     9  communication. In the case of a meeting held solely by electronic commu-
    10  nication, the electronic service and/or platform through which the meet-
    11  ing is held shall be the place of the meeting for purposes of this chap-
    12  ter. Meetings conducted partially  or  solely  by  means  of  electronic

    14  tronic participation in such meetings shall be subject to  those  guide-
    15  lines and procedures as the board of trustees adopts.
