A corporation is required by Iowa law to adopt bylaws, which are written rules that govern how the corporation operates internally (how the Board of Directors will be elected, what votes are required for a particular action, etc.) Bylaws may contain any provision in them that is not prohibited by law. See Iowa Code Chapter 490 for more information on bylaws in Iowa. The Secretary of State does not have forms for bylaws and the Office cannot advise you concerning the content of bylaws.
