Section 40. Certificate of membership  


Latest version.
  • Every corporation shall issue to each
      member, upon full payment therefor, a certificate of membership (whether
      evidenced  by  stock  or  otherwise)  which  shall  not  be transferable
      otherwise than as may be prescribed in this chapter, the certificate  of
      incorporation and by-laws. The corporation may accept as full or partial
      payment  a  member's  promissory note, but shall hold the certificate as
      security for payment, without, however, affecting the member's right  to
      vote unless such note is past due.
