Does the NRA have to resolve its legal troubles in New York before it can reincorporate itself in another state?
The National Rifle Association can't move its legal home out of New York until it resolves the lawsuit recently filed by the state's attorney general.
President Trump and state leaders in Texas and Arkansas have suggested the NRA should move out of New York, where it was set up as a charity in 1871.
Under New York law, a non-profit organization with assets cannot dissolve itself without approval from a state judge or the office of the attorney general. Attorney General Letitia James, who brought the lawsuit, has said that she has no intention of allowing the NRA to leave the state while the suit is in progress. The suit accuses NRA executives of fraud and seeks to dissolve the organization.
The NRA's operational headquarters is outside Washington, in suburban Virginia.
