§ 101879 Corporate Meeting Retroactivity Exemption

Health and Safety Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

This law says the new rules about how a corporation holds meetings only apply to meetings after Jan 1 1998, not to any meetings that happened before that date.

Key Takeaways

•The meeting rules are **prospective** – they work only for future meetings.
•Any meeting held **before Jan 1 1998** is automatically okay under the new law.
•Corporations must follow the new rules **starting Jan 1 1998** for any meetings after that date.

Example

A company held its board meeting on December 15 1997 and didn’t follow the new meeting rules that were later added.

Because the law only starts applying on Jan 1 1998, that December meeting is not considered a violation even though it didn’t follow the new rules.
