# O.C.G.A. § 14-3-706. Record date.

(a) The bylaws may fix or provide the manner of fixing the record date to determine the members entitled to notice of a members’ meeting, to demand a special meeting to vote, or to take any other action. If the bylaws do not fix or provide for fixing such a record date, the board may fix a future date as such a record date.

(b) A record date fixed under this Code section may not be more than 70 days before the meeting or action requiring a determination of members.

(c) A determination of members entitled to notice of or to vote at a membership meeting is effective for any adjournment of the meeting unless the board fixes a new record date, which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting.

(d) If a court orders a meeting adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting, it may provide that the original record date continues in effect or it may fix a new record date.
