Pennsylvania Statutes Title 15 Pa.C.S.A. Corporations and Unincorporated Associations § 5509. Bylaws and other powers in emergency

(a) General rule.--Except as otherwise restricted in the bylaws, the board of directors or other body of any nonprofit corporation may adopt emergency bylaws, subject to repeal or change by action of the members, which shall, notwithstanding any different provisions of law or of the articles or bylaws, be effective during any emergency resulting from an attack on the United States, a nuclear disaster or another catastrophe as a result of which a quorum of the board cannot readily be assembled. The emergency bylaws may make any provision that may be appropriate for the circumstances of the emergency, including:

(b) Lines of succession; head office.--The board of directors or other body, or the officers, if given authorization by the board of directors or other body, either before or during any emergency, may:

(c) Personnel not liable.--A representative of the corporation:

(d) Effect on regular bylaws.--To the extent that they are not inconsistent with any emergency bylaws adopted, the bylaws of the corporation shall remain in effect during any emergency, and, upon its termination, the emergency bylaws shall cease to be effective.

(e) Procedure in absence of emergency bylaws.--Unless otherwise provided in emergency bylaws, notice of any meeting of the board of directors or an other body during an emergency shall be given only to those directors or members of an other body it is feasible to reach at the time and by such means as are feasible at the time, including publication, radio or television. To the extent required to constitute a quorum at any meeting of the board of directors or an other body during any emergency, the officers of the corporation who are present shall, unless otherwise provided in emergency bylaws, be deemed, in order of rank and within the same rank in order of seniority, directors or members of the other body, as the case may be, for the meeting.
