FAQ
Bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed either by approval of the outstanding shares (Section 152) or by the approval of the board, except as provided in Section 212.
Corporate bylaws are legally binding rules that the board of directors adopts once a business incorporates. They lay out the day-to-day operating rules and procedures for a corporation. Establishing bylaws is an important task for the board of directors, helping them oversee the work and operation of the business.
Bylaws will be adopted by your corporation's directors at their first board meeting or adopted by the Action of Incorporator and then adopted at the first board meeting. Each state has some form of a Business Corporation Act that governs the lawful operation of corporations and other business entities.
The incorporator typically executes a document called an Action of Incorporator (also called an Initial Action by the Sole Incorporator), in which the incorporator adopts bylaws for the corporation, sets the size of the board of directors, and elects the initial board of directors.
Bylaws may be amended according to the procedures and voting requirements contained within the bylaws. When the bylaws do not contain provisions for their amendment, they may be amended by approval of a majority of the members at a meeting where quorum is present.
The difference between articles and bylaws, simply put, is that Articles of Incorporation are the official formation documents you must file with the state to start a new business. Corporate bylaws, on the other hand, are a set of internal documents that outline how the company should be run.
§ 55-10-20. (b) A corporation's shareholders may amend or repeal the corporation's bylaws even though the bylaws may also be amended or repealed by its board of directors.
Section 45. Adoption of Bylaws. For the adoption of bylaws by the corporation, the affirmative vote of the stockholders representing at least a majority of the outstanding capital stock, or at least a majority of the members in case of nonstock corporations, shall be necessary.
Each corporation customizes their own corporate bylaws, and every Delaware corporation has the right to adopt, amend and repeal its bylaws, per Delaware General Corporation Law §122(5). A Delaware corporation's bylaws should not be confused with its Articles of Incorporation.
