Amendments to bylaws affecting class of members to be voted on by such class.
Miss. Code Ann. § 79-11-317
in effectThe members of a class are entitled to vote as a class on a proposed amendment to the bylaws if the amendment would: Affect the rights, privileges, preferences, restrictions or conditions of that class as to voting, dissolution, redemption or transfer of memberships in a manner different than such amendment would affect another class; Change the rights, privileges, preferences, restrictions or conditions of that class as to voting, dissolution, redemption or transfer by changing the rights, privileges, preferences, restrictions or conditions of another class; Increase or decrease the number of memberships authorized for that class; Increase the number of memberships authorized for another class; Effect an exchange, reclassification or termination of all or part of the memberships of that class; or Authorize a new class of memberships. If a class is to be divided into two (2) or more classes as a result of an amendment to the bylaws, the amendment must be approved by the members of each class that would be created by the amendment. If a class vote is required to approve an amendment to the bylaws, the amendment must be approved by the members of the class of two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast by the class or a majority of the voting power of the class, whichever is less. A class of members is entitled to the voting rights granted by this section although the articles and bylaws provide that the class may not vote on the proposed amendment.
