(a) Fixing record date.--Unless otherwise restricted in the bylaws, the board of directors of a nonprofit corporation may fix a time prior to the date of any meeting of members as a record date for the determination of the members entitled to notice of, or to vote at, the meeting, which time, except in the case of an adjourned meeting, shall not be more than 90 days prior to the date of the meeting of members. Only members of record on the date fixed shall be so entitled notwithstanding any increase or other change in membership on the books of the corporation after any record date fixed as provided in this subsection. Unless otherwise provided in the bylaws, the board of directors may similarly fix a record date for the determination of members of record for any other purpose. When a determination of members of record has been made as provided in this section for purposes of a meeting, the determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless otherwise restricted in the bylaws or unless the board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
(b) Determination when no record date fixed.--Unless otherwise provided in the bylaws, if a record date is not fixed:
(1) The record date for determining members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of members shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the day on which the meeting is held.
(2) The record date for determining members entitled to:
(i) express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when prior action by the board of directors or other body is not necessary;
(ii) call a special meeting of the members; or
(iii) propose an amendment of the articles;
shall be the close of business on the day on which the first written consent or dissent, request for a special meeting or petition proposing an amendment of the articles is filed with the secretary of the corporation.
(3) The record date for determining members for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors or other body adopts the resolution relating thereto.
