Here's what's been happening with new and pending Delaware legislation this past week:
The following Legislation affecting Title 8 - Corporations was acted upon by the General Assembly on 5/03/2010:
HB 341
Title: AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 8 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW.
Synopsis:
This bill is a comprehensive set of amendments to many sections of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”), and to Chapter 5 of Title 8, to clarify, fill gaps in, and make consistent the DGCL’s application to corporations that are not authorized to issue capital stock, commonly known as nonstock corporations. For historical reasons, the DGCL has not comprehensively addressed nonstock corporations. Since Delaware now has approximately 18,000 registered nonstock corporations, these amendments will provide clarity and consistency so that these entities and their advisors will have appropriate and necessary statutory guidance. Most notably, new Section 114 of the DGCL is a “translator” provision that sets forth which provisions of the DGCL apply to nonstock corporations generally and which provisions apply to non-profit nonstock corporations specifically. With the exception of amendments to Sections 313, 391, and 501, none of these amendments is intended to affect the DGCL with respect to stock corporations, either directly or by negative implication.
