  • 1.  The  initial  by-laws of a corporation shall be
      adopted by its  incorporators.  Except  as  otherwise  provided  in  the
      organization  certificate  under  section six thousand thirteen, by-laws
      may be amended, repealed or adopted by vote of the holders of the shares
      at the time entitled to vote in the election of any directors.  When  so
      provided  in  the  organization  certificate,  a  by-law  adopted by the
      stockholders or a by-law validly adopted prior to the effective date  of
      this  article,  by-laws  may also be amended, repealed or adopted by the
      board, but any by-law adopted by the board may be amended or repealed by
      the stockholders entitled  to  vote  thereon  as  herein  provided.  Any
      reference  in  this  article  to  a "by-law adopted by the stockholders"
      shall include a by-law adopted by the incorporators.
        2. If any by-law regulating an  impending  election  of  directors  is
      adopted,  amended  or repealed by the board, there shall be set forth in
      the notice of the next meeting  of  stockholders  for  the  election  of
      directors  the  by-law  so adopted, amended or repealed, together with a
      concise statement of the changes made.
        3. The by-laws may contain any provision relating to the  business  of
      the corporation, the conduct of its affairs, its rights or powers or the
      rights or powers of its stockholders, directors, committees or officers,
      not inconsistent with this chapter or any other statute of this state or
      the organization certificate.
