Emergency Bylaws

The board of directors may adopt bylaws effective only in an emergency to manage procedures for calling meetings, quorum requirements for the meeting, and designation of additional or substitute directors. The emergency bylaws are no longer effective after the emergency, defined by the law as “some catastrophic event,” ends. (§ 29–302.07).
