Note:
"104. Corporate instruments; inquiry by board. Whenever any corporate instrument is submitted to the board for approval in accordance with the requirements of any statute, the board shall make such inquiry as it may deem advisable, and shall order a hearing, if necessary, in accordance with such rules as it shall prescribe, to determine whether or not the purposes of the proposed corporation are in all respects consistent with public policy and the Labor Law, and whether the corporate name is in all respects consistent with its purposes and activities or tends to be misleading. Notice of the time and place of such hearing shall be given to the applicant and to such other persons as the board may determine."
The board's statutory function is quasi-judicial rather than merely ministerial in nature. In discharging this function, the board investigates every application to determine whether the aims, structure and proposed internal management of the applicant are consistent with the public policy and Labor Law of the State. The phrase, "consistent with public policy and the Labor Law," in the above section of the law, denotes a legislative mandate to the board to approve incorporation only of those proposed corporate organizations whose activities and operations will not adversely affect or exert any prejudicial influence upon the State labor policy as expressed in the State and Federal laws, the decisions of the courts, and official administrative pronouncements.
