An owner or occupant of a pew in a meetinghouse who expresses dissent from a vote pursuant to
section 3101 in writing to the clerk of the parish or incorporated church within one month from the time
of holding a meeting must have the owner's or occupant's pew appraised, as provided in section 3105,
and the appraised value must be tendered to the owner or occupant in satisfaction of the owner's or
occupant's claim for compensation and the owner or occupant shall then deliver a deed of the pew to
the parish or incorporated church. If such dissent is not so expressed, the pew must be forever forfeited
to the parish or incorporated church. [RR 2025, c. 1, Pt. E, §42 (COR).]
