< > Effective - 14 Jun 1971, see footnote bottom

  456.019.  Trustees of private foundations, charitable trusts or split-interest trusts, certain acts prohibited. — 1.  In the administration of any trust which is a "private foundation", as defined in Section 509 of the United States Internal Revenue Code, a "charitable trust", as defined in Section 4947(a)(1) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, or a "split-interest trust", as defined in Section 4947(a)(2) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, the following acts shall be prohibited:

  (1)  Engaging in any act of "self-dealing", as defined in Section 4941(d) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, which would give rise to any liability for the tax imposed by Section 4941(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code;

  (2)  Retaining any "excess business holdings", as defined in Section 4943(c) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, which would give rise to any liability for the tax imposed by Section 4943(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code;

  (3)  Making any investments which would jeopardize the carrying out of any of the exempt purposes of the trust, within the meaning of Section 4944 of the United States Internal Revenue Code, so as to give rise to any liability for the tax imposed by Section 4944(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code; and

  (4)  Making any "taxable expenditures", as defined in Section 4945(d) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, which would give rise to any liability for the tax imposed by Section 4945(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that this section shall not apply either to those split-interest trusts or to amounts thereof which are not subject to the prohibitions applicable to private foundations by reason of the provisions of Section 4947 of the United States Internal Revenue Code.

  2.  In the administration of any trust which is a "private foundation", as defined in Section 509 of the United States Internal Revenue Code, or which is a "charitable trust", as defined in Section 4947(a)(1) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, there shall be distributed, for the purposes specified in the trust instrument, for each taxable year, amounts at least sufficient to avoid liability for the tax imposed by Section 4942(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code.

  3.  The provisions of subsections 1 and 2 of this section shall not apply to any trust to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such application would be contrary to the terms of the instrument governing such trust and that the same may not properly be changed to conform to such sections.  The trustee shall not be held liable to anyone for any payments made under subsection 2 prior to such determination.

  4.  Nothing in this section shall impair the rights and powers of the courts or the attorney general of this state with respect to any trust.

  5.  All references to sections of the United States Internal Revenue Code shall be to such law as of June 14, 1971.
