The Salvation Army Act 1931 (21 & 22 Geo. 5. c. xciv) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that was passed in 1931. Until it was amended in 1963 and again in 1980, the legislation governed the International Headquarters of The Salvation Army. The act limited and regulated the authority of the general of The Salvation Army, who serves as the organisation's chief executive officer (CEO), and removed his ability to act as the sole owner of Salvation Army trusts.^[3] The legislation gained royal assent from George V on 31 July 1931 and took immediate effect.
