(1) A bylaw adopted at any meeting of stockholders of a domestic insurer may not be modified or revoked except by the stockholders at a subsequent meeting unless the bylaws as adopted or amended by the stockholders grant authority to the board of directors to revoke or modify bylaw provisions. The board of directors may not revoke or modify any bylaw relating to the qualifications, election, terms, or compensation of directors or to the calling or notice of meetings of stockholders. A revocation or modification of bylaws made by the directors under this provision must be presented at the next following meeting of stockholders for the information of the stockholders.
