§ 13230 Association Amendment Rules

• •Associations can amend their articles using the same process as domestic corporations.
• •Changes must follow the procedures set out in the General Corporation Law.
• •The amendment must serve a purpose allowed by that law.

A neighborhood club wants to add a new rule about how many members can vote at meetings.

The club can change its governing documents by following the same steps that a regular corporation uses to amend its articles, such as getting member approval and filing the changes with the state.
