§ 7-8-9. Amendment of articles. (a) The articles of association may be amended, as provided in chapter 1.2 of this title, by an affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the members voting at a meeting duly called for the purpose. If the amendment is to alter the preferences of outstanding shares of any type, or to authorize the issuance of shares having preferences superior to outstanding shares of any type, the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the members owning the outstanding shares affected by the change is also required for the adoption of the amendment. If the amendment is to alter the rule by which members' property rights in a nonshare association are determined, a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the entire membership is required.
(b) Notice of any meeting to consider amendments to the articles of association must be sent at least three (3) weeks in advance of the meeting to each member at his or her last known address, accompanied by the full text of the proposal and the part of the articles to be amended.
