We are in the process of updating our by-laws. Is there a specific procedure we must follow by state/federal law to do this?
Federal law does not control amendment of bylaws. The process must comply with state law. The procedures may be spelled out in your current bylaws, but you may want to consult a knowledgeable attorney to be sure that you comply with the legal requirements. (For some of the provisions that you will want to consider in updating your bylaws, see Ready Reference Page: “Bylaws Function as 'Constitution' of Nonprofit Corporations”)
