1. A benefit corporation shall have the purpose of creating general public benefit. This purpose is in addition to, and may be a limitation on, the corporation’s purpose under NRS 78.030 and any specific purpose set forth in its articles of incorporation pursuant to NRS 78.037.
2. In addition to the provisions required to be stated in the articles of incorporation pursuant to NRS 78.035, the articles of incorporation of a benefit corporation must contain a statement that the corporation is a benefit corporation. The articles of incorporation may identify the creation of one or more specific public benefits as a purpose or as purposes of the benefit corporation. The identification of any specific public benefit pursuant to this subsection does not limit the obligation of the benefit corporation to create general public benefit.
3. The creation of general and specific public benefits as provided in subsections 1 and 2 is in the best interests of the benefit corporation.
4. A professional corporation that is a benefit corporation does not violate NRS 89.050 by providing the professional services for which it was incorporated for the purpose of creating general public benefit or any specific public benefit.
5. A benefit corporation may amend its articles of incorporation to add, amend or delete the identification of any specific public benefit that must be the purpose of the benefit corporation to create. To be effective, the amendment must be adopted by at least the minimum status vote.
