§ 46-3-325. Adoption of initial bylaws; authority to alter, amend, repeal, or adopt new bylaws; contents of bylaws generally.
The initial bylaws of an electric membership corporation shall be adopted by its board of directors. The board of directors shall not have power to alter, amend, or repeal the bylaws or adopt new bylaws directly relating to the election of the board of directors. The board of directors shall otherwise have power to alter, amend, or repeal the bylaws or adopt new bylaws unless such power is reserved exclusively to the members by the articles of incorporation or in bylaws previously adopted by the members; but any bylaws adopted by the board of directors may be altered, amended, or repealed and new bylaws adopted by the members. The members may prescribe that any bylaw or bylaws adopted by them shall not be altered, amended, or repealed by the board of directors. The bylaws may contain any provisions for the regulation and management of the affairs of the electric membership corporation not inconsistent with law or the articles of incorporation. (Ga.
