Eligibility for membership, and the rights of members, are as provided in the bylaws
What the document says“``(a) Eligibility.--Except as provided in this chapter, eligibility for membership in the corporation and the rights and privileges of members are as provided in the bylaws.''”
The section amends section 70503 of title 36, United States Code, by striking subsections (a) and (b) and inserting the subsection quoted here. In the inserted words, eligibility for membership in the corporation, and the rights and privileges of members, are as provided in the bylaws, except as provided in the chapter. The bylaws are the corporation's own document and are not part of this Act.
What the document actually says“``(a) Eligibility.--Except as provided in this chapter, eligibility for membership in the corporation and the rights and privileges of members are as provided in the bylaws.''”
The group's own rules say who can join. They also say what a member may do. The law itself no longer sets that. But other rules in this chapter still hold.
Bylaws are the rules a group writes for itself. The group can change them on its own. It does not need to ask Congress.
