Practice question
A municipality invokes Section 22(a)(6) to exercise a supposed corporate power explicitly prohibited to it by another applicable law. It argues that the phrase other powers granted to corporations overrides every limitation. Which is correct?
- The catch-all always overrides the Code.
- All private corporate powers automatically apply without limits.
- The catch-all is expressly subject to the Code and other laws, so it supplies no authority to disregard the prohibition.
- A seal registration repeals the prohibition.
- A contract title alone creates an exception.
