§ 81.470. Bylaws: Adoption; amendment; effectiveness
1. Each corporation incorporated under NRS 81.410 to 81.540 , inclusive, must, within 1 month after filing articles of incorporation, adopt a
code of bylaws for its government and management not inconsistent with the provisions
of NRS 81.410 to 81.540 , inclusive. A majority vote of the members, or the written assent of members representing a
majority of the votes, is necessary to adopt such bylaws. 2. The power to make additional bylaws and to alter the bylaws adopted under the provisions
of subsection 1 shall be in the members, but any corporation may, in its articles
of incorporation, original or amended, or by resolution adopted by a majority vote,
or by written consent of a majority of the members, confer that power upon the directors. Bylaws made by the directors under power so conferred, may be altered by the directors
or by the members. The written consent of a majority of the members suffices to adopt bylaws in addition
to those adopted under the provisions of subsection 1, and to amend or repeal any
bylaw. 3. All bylaws in force must be copied legibly in a book called the Book of Bylaws,
kept at all times for inspection in the principal office. Until so copied, they shall not be effective or in force.
