1. With the approval of the superintendent, any domestic organization may, at any time, adopt, in
the same manner as in the case of ordinary bylaws, emergency bylaws to become operative during a
period of acute emergency. Emergency bylaws may contain provisions with respect to the number of
directors capable of acting which shall constitute its board, the number of such directors which shall
constitute a quorum at a meeting of the board, the number of votes necessary for action by such board,
the manner in which vacancies on the board shall be filled, the line of succession of its officers, and the
interim management of the affairs of the insurance organization; such provisions, if approved by the
superintendent, need not comply with the requirement of the charter of such domestic organization or
of the insurance or incorporation laws of this State.
[PL 1969, c. 132, §1 (NEW); PL 1973, c. 585, §12 (AMD).]
2. Section 3554 and section 3555, subsections 2 to 6 shall not be applicable during a period of
acute emergency to any domestic organization operating in accordance with and under emergency
bylaws theretofore approved by the superintendent.
[PL 1969, c. 132, §1 (NEW); PL 1973, c. 585, §12 (AMD).]
