Corporate bylaws are legally required in North Carolina. Stat. § 55-2-06 requires a corporation's incorporators or board of directors to adopt initial bylaws. The law doesn't specify when bylaws must be adopted, but this usually happens at the first organizational meeting.
California corporate bylaws are the agreed-upon rules for your corporation's operations. Bylaws create an organizational structure for your company and outline policies for appointing directors and officers, holding shareholder and board meetings, and handling conflicts of interest, among other issues.
