The articles or the bylaws may require an amendment to the articles or bylaws to be approved in writing by a specified person or persons other than the board. Such an article or bylaw provision may only be amended with the approval in writing of such person or persons.
(Code 1981, §14-3-1030, enacted by Ga. L. 1991, p. 465, § 1.)
COMMENTThis section is taken from the Model Act. It validates the practice of some nonprofit corporations of giving a specified person or entity veto power over amendments to the articles or bylaws. Because "person" is broadly defined, this veto power may be given to any individual (including a member or delegate) or to an entity.
