(a) The original bylaws adopted by a board of directors of a G&T cooperative created or operating and subject to this chapter shall continue in effect until at any time thereafter the bylaws are changed by adoption, amendment or repeal by the members by the process as established in the bylaws, except that:

(1) The members may, by bylaw provision, delegate to the board the power to change all or any specified provision of the bylaws, but the delegation shall not forfeit or restrict any right of the members thereafter as may be established in the bylaws to change the provision whether or not the board has exercised the delegated power; and

(2) Either the board or the members of a G&T cooperative may change any bylaw provision when, as established by law, the provision is illegal or has become a legal nullity.

(b) The bylaws shall provide for a process that permits the members to amend or repeal such provisions that are established in the original bylaws or as may have been thereafter amended, repealed or otherwise modified by the board of directors or the members.

(c) The bylaws shall specify the rules of parliamentary procedure applicable to meetings of its board of directors and members; provided, that in the absence of such a specification the then-current edition of Robert's Rules of Order shall apply.
