These are the defaults Qwibie uses when it has no summary for your state. They're modelled on general practice, not on any one state's law.

Not legal advice

These are Qwibie's own summaries, not the law, and they don't say what the law is today. Open the source to read the text, and ask your attorney how it applies to your organization. Your articles and bylaws may set a different rule where the statute allows it.
