§ 213 Corporate Bylaws Access Requirements
This law says a corporation must keep its up‑to‑date bylaws at its main office in the state (or at its main business office in the state) so shareholders can look at them during normal business hours, and if the corporation has no office in the state it must mail a copy to any shareholder who asks in writing.
Jane owns shares in a company that is based in another state. She writes a letter asking for a copy of the company’s bylaws. The company must send her the latest bylaws because it has no office in Jane’s state.
Because the company’s main office isn’t in the state, the law requires it to provide a copy of the bylaws to any shareholder who makes a written request.
