FAQ
Corporate bylaws are legally required in Illinois. Illinois statute §805 ILCS 5/2.20 requires that bylaws be adopted either by shareholders at the first shareholder meeting or by directors at the initial director meeting.
They contain the basic rules for the conduct of the corporation's business and affairs. The bylaws may contain any provision for managing the business and regulating the corporation's affairs that is not inconsistent with statutory law or the corporation's Articles of Incorporation.

If you have established, or are thinking about forming, a corporation in California, then you'll need to create a set of corporate bylaws. This may sound like an unnecessary formality – especially if you are a start-up with just a handful of shareholders and employees.
LLCs are not required to have bylaws. However, they are governed by an operating agreement which is like a corporation's bylaws.
Your Articles of Incorporation may need to include additional items that specifically apply to your situation. The Department of Business Services strongly recommends that legal counsel reviews all documents before submission. The Department of Business Services is an administrative filing agency.
Unless you indicate differently in your articles of incorporation or by-laws, your corporation's board of directors can generally issue shares whenever it wishes, to whomever it chooses, and for whatever value it decides. Directors can decide to issue shares by majority vote.
