§ 82.356. Amendment of articles: Procedure

1. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 77.340 , each amendment adopted pursuant to the provisions of NRS 82.351 must be made in the following manner: (a) The board of directors must adopt a resolution setting forth the amendment proposed,

approve it and, if the corporation has members entitled to vote on an amendment to

the articles, call a meeting, either annual or special, of the members. The amendment must also be approved by each public official or other person whose

approval of an amendment of articles is required by the articles. (b) At the meeting of members, of which notice must be given to each member entitled

to vote pursuant to the provisions of this section, a vote of the members entitled

to vote in person or by proxy must be taken for and against the proposed amendment. A majority of a quorum of the voting power of the members or such greater proportion

of the voting power of members as may be required in the case of a vote by classes,

as provided in subsection 3, or as may be required by the articles, must vote in favor

of the amendment. (c) Upon approval of the amendment by the directors, or if the corporation has members

entitled to vote on an amendment to the articles, by both the directors and those

members, and such other persons or public officers, if any, as are required to do

so by the articles, an officer of the corporation must sign a certificate setting

forth the amendment, or setting forth the articles as amended, that the public officers

or other persons, if any, required by the articles have approved the amendment, and

the vote of the members and directors by which the amendment was adopted. (d) The certificate so signed must be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State. 2. A certificate filed pursuant to this section is effective at the time of the filing

of the certificate with the Secretary of State or upon a later date and time as specified

in the certificate, which date must not be more than 90 days after the date on which

the certificate is filed. If a certificate filed pursuant to this section specifies a later effective date

but does not specify an effective time, the certificate is effective at 12:01 a.m.

in the Pacific time zone on the specified later date. 3. If any proposed amendment would alter or change any preference or any relative

or other right given to any class of members, then the amendment must be approved

by the vote, in addition to the affirmative vote otherwise required, of the holders

of a majority of a quorum of the voting power of each class of members affected by

the amendment regardless of limitations or restrictions on their voting power. 4. In the case of any specified amendments, the articles may require a larger vote

of members than that required by this section.
