Bylaws
The internal rules and procedures adopted by a corporation to govern its operations, board structure, meeting requirements, officer roles, and decision-making processes. Bylaws supplement the articles of incorporation and provide detailed guidance on matters such as quorum requirements, voting procedures, committee formation, and amendment processes. They are a living document that the board can typically amend without shareholder approval.
