(a) The certificate of formation or bylaws of the corporation:
(1) may designate one or more committees to have and exercise all, or a specified portion, of the authority of the board of directors of the corporation in the management of the corporation; or
(2) may authorize the board of directors, by resolution adopted by the majority of the directors in office, to designate one or more committees to have and exercise all, or a specified portion, of the authority of the board in the management of the corporation to the extent permitted in the authorization in the certificate of formation or bylaws.
(b) A committee designated under this section must consist of at least two persons. Except as provided by Subsection (b-1), the majority of the persons on the committee must be directors. If provided by the certificate of formation or bylaws, the remaining persons on the committee are not required to be directors.
(b-1) If a corporation is a religious institution and if provided by the corporation's certificate of formation or bylaws, a committee designated under this section may be composed entirely of persons who are not directors of the corporation.
(c) The designation of a committee and the delegation of authority to the committee does not operate to relieve the board of directors, or an individual director, of any responsibility imposed on the board or director by law. A committee member who is not a director has the same responsibility with respect to the committee as a committee member who is a director.
