§ 5766. Consent of members in lieu of meeting.

(a) Unanimous consent.--Unless otherwise restricted in the bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the members or of a class of members of a nonprofit corporation may be taken without a meeting if a consent or consents to the action in record form are signed, before, on or after the effective date of the action by all of the members who would be entitled to vote at a meeting for that purpose. The consent or consents must be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the members.

(b) Partial consent.--If the bylaws so provide, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the members or of a class of members may be taken without a meeting upon the signed consent of members who would have been entitled to cast the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize the action at a meeting at which all members entitled to vote thereon were present and voting. The consents must be filed in record form with the minutes of the proceedings of the members.

(c) Notice of action by partial consent.--Unless the bylaws require notice before an action pursuant to subsection (b) takes effect, prompt notice that an action has been taken shall be given to each member entitled to vote on the action that has not consented.
