General Authorities Act Of 1970Edit

I want to get this right, but I’m not sure there is a widely recognized law by the exact name “General Authorities Act Of 1970.” Could you clarify a couple of details so I can draft an accurate, well-sourced encyclopedia-style article?

  • Which jurisdiction is the act from (e.g., United States federal law, a specific U.S. state, or another country)?
  • Is this about a real law related to a particular religious organization (for example, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its general authorities), or is it a different topic with a similar name?
  • Do you have a preferred emphasis or scope (legal framework, historical context, impact on church-state relations, controversies, etc.)?

If you’re aiming for a general, neutral encyclopedia entry rather than a specific historical excerpt, I can also draft a concise piece that explains the concept of “general authorities” within religious organizations and how a hypothetical or real act from 1970 might interact with church governance and public policy.
