Most recently applied in 387 F. Supp. 2d 770 - May v. National Bank of Commerce (October 2004)

Acts 1986, ch. 887, § 8.21; 2012, ch. 1051, § 29.

(1) Except to the extent that the charter or bylaws require that action by the board of directors be taken at a meeting, action required or permitted by chapters 11-27 of this title to be taken by the board of directors may be taken without a meeting if each director signs a consent describing the action to be taken and delivers it to the corporation. If all directors consent to taking such action without a meeting, the affirmative vote of the number of directors that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting is the act of the board. The action must be evidenced by one (1) or more written consents describing the action taken, signed by each director in one (1) or more counterparts, indicating each signing director's vote or abstention on the action, and delivered to the corporation, and shall be included in the minutes or filed with the corporate records reflecting the action taken.

(2) Action taken under this section is the act of the board of directors when one (1) or more consents signed by all the directors are delivered to the corporation. The consent may specify the time at which the action taken thereunder is to be effective. A director's consent may be withdrawn by a revocation signed by the director and delivered to the corporation prior to delivery to the corporation of unrevoked written consents signed by all the directors.

(3) A consent signed under this section has the effect of action taken at a meeting of the board of directors and may be described as such in any document.
