Without board consent, a person cannot obtain or use a membership list for purposes unrelated to members' interests as members. Commercial use is also restricted. Requests for money or property are restricted, except when used solely to seek member votes in a corporation election. Membership lists… - Members keep protections through corporate reorganizations: benefit, low. A merger or exchange requires a member’s separate signed consent before adding new personal liability tied to membership. Consent is unnecessary when existing liability terms remain substantially identical, apart from changes that reduce or remove liability. Beginning January 1, 2027, the law’s fra… - Community association leaders gain damages protection: benefit, low. Qualifying community association directors and officers have damages capped at their compensation from the prior 12 months. The cap covers one transaction, occurrence, or course of conduct; unpaid leaders owe no damages under this protection. The association must be a Virginia nonstock corporation… - Corporate leaders gain limits on damages: benefit, low. For corporation or member lawsuits, the law caps a director’s or officer’s damages from one transaction, occurrence, or course of conduct. The cap is the lower of the articles’ or member-approved bylaws’ limit and the greater of $100,000 or the prior 12 months’ cash pay. For corporations exempt und… - Corporations gain ballot and notice options: benefit, low. With board approval, corporations can satisfy annual-meeting requirements using electronic ballots, mail ballots, or both. Notice rules also cover other communications. When ordinary delivery is impracticable, corporations can use broad, non-exclusionary public communication. Options include newspa… - Courts can remove abusive corporate directors: benefit, low. Virginia circuit courts can remove nonstock corporation directors for fraud, gross abuse of office, or intentional harm to the corporation. Removal must serve the corporation’s best interests after the court considers the conduct and whether other remedies are inadequate. Courts can also bar reelec… - Directors gain broader legal expense relief: benefit, low. The law removes express reasonableness requirements from covered legal expenses in repayment, advance, and related court-payment rules. Expenses must still qualify under the applicable provision. A director can ask a court to order payment or advances when fair and reasonable. Courts can grant reli… - Members get more direct corporate notices: benefit, low. Nonstock corporations must deliver member-meeting notices; newspaper publication no longer substitutes for delivery. After enough written consents reach the secretary, corporations have no more than 10 days to notify nonconsenting voting members. They must also notify nonvoting members when the law… - More legal cost protection for leaders: benefit, low. Legal-cost protection covers qualifying service for predecessor entities whose existence ended in a merger or other transaction. It also covers requested service for another entity or employee benefit plan in leadership, employee, trustee, or agent roles. Unless the articles say otherwise, officers… - More voting options for corporation members: benefit, low. Virginia nonstock corporations can grant member voting rights through bylaws, even when their articles do not grant them. With board approval, members can join and vote remotely. The corporation must verify members or proxies and let them follow proceedings and participate as they happen. Meetings… - Boards gain flexible meeting and consent options: benefit, low. Unless articles or bylaws say otherwise, directors can meet remotely when everyone can hear one another simultaneously; participants count as present. Articles can expressly allow action without a meeting using less than unanimous written consent. Signatures must reach the highest of a majority of… - Clearer board roles and director eligibility: benefit, low. Boards direct and oversee Virginia nonstock corporations, subject to limits in their articles or an authorized governance agreement. Directors need not live in Virginia or be members unless the articles or bylaws require it. Director qualifications cannot use views or actions about board duties in… - Corporations can change states without starting over: benefit, low. Beginning January 1, 2027, the domestication framework lets corporations change their state of formation when the relevant states’ laws allow it. Virginia corporations cannot move this way when Virginia law requires them to remain domestic. Plans must identify both corporations and jurisdictions, e… - Corporations gain broader emergency operating options: benefit, low. A catastrophic event affecting a corporation can trigger emergency bylaws even when its board or committees can readily meet. Covered events include attacks, epidemics, pandemics, and federally declared national emergencies. An emergency declared by the locality containing the corporation’s princip… - Corporations gain new legal-form conversion options: benefit, low. Beginning January 1, 2027, Virginia corporations and eligible domestic or foreign entities can convert between legal forms when governing law permits. Domestic partnerships need an uncanceled authority statement or limited-liability-partnership registration and required approvals to become Virginia… - Directors gain enforceable corporate record access: benefit, low. Directors can inspect and copy corporate books, records, and documents at reasonable times when access relates to their duties. They cannot use access for unrelated purposes or in ways that violate duties to the corporation. A director denied access can seek an expedited court order. Courts can awa… - Easier agent updates for out-of-state corporations: benefit, low. Registered agents can file updates for Virginia address changes, office-locality changes or corrections, and legal name changes. A surviving entity can also replace an agent that merged into it. For that route, the merger record must be on file with the Commission and the new agent must qualify. Th… - Members and creditors gain dissolution protections: benefit, low. Corporations seeking member approval to close must notify every member, including those without voting rights. The meeting notice must identify dissolution and explain how remaining assets will be shared after creditors are paid. It can instead explain how that distribution will be decided. If a co… - Some corporate transactions avoid annual fees: benefit, low. Domestic and out-of-state corporations avoid the $25 annual registration fee when a qualifying transaction takes effect by the fee’s due date. The State Corporation Commission must issue or file the listed certificate or instrument. Qualifying transactions include termination, withdrawal, merger in… - Members face rules for corporate lawsuits: cost, low. Members suing on a corporation’s behalf must first deliver a written demand for suitable action. They generally must wait 90 days, unless the corporation rejects the demand earlier or delay risks irreparable harm. They must meet membership rules covering the challenged act, joining before public di… - Members face tighter cumulative voting notice: cost, low. Cumulative voting lets members combine their director-election votes behind a candidate. The articles or bylaws must authorize it. Members can use it only when the meeting notice or accompanying proxy statement clearly says it is allowed. The law removes the alternative of giving the secretary at l… - Corporations face filing fees and approvals: cost, low. Corporations must authorize corrections filed with Virginia’s State Corporation Commission; board approval alone is not enough. Corrections cover inaccurate, unauthorized, improperly signed, or defectively transmitted electronic filings. Converting a corporation into another eligible entity carries… - Corporations must keep records and reports: cost, low. Nonstock corporations must keep accounting records usable for financial statements; corporations with members need an alphabetical membership record by class.

The fee to restore a Virginia corporation’s legal existence rises from $10 to $100, a $90 increase.

Out-of-state corporations also pay $100 instead of $10 to… - Nonstock corporations face income distribution limits: cost, low. Virginia nonstock corporations cannot pay dividends or distribute income to members, directors, or officers, except under the Act’s stated exception. The law removes an express allowance for distributions to certain nonprofit corporate members. - Out-of-state corporations lose name registration option: cost, low. Corporations formed outside Virginia lose the statutory route for initially registering their corporate names with the State Corporation Commission. They can still renew an existing registration or terminate or release it. - Out-of-state corporations need tax clearance: cost, low. A foreign corporation withdrawing from Virginia must certify that required state tax returns are filed and taxes paid, or none are required. It must state that it has stopped Virginia business, surrender its authority, and revoke its registered agent's authority to receive legal papers. It must app… - Out-of-state reinstatement requires more documents: cost, low. Foreign corporations seeking reinstatement must provide authenticated copies of covered document amendments and corrections made after withdrawal or revocation. They must also document mergers, conversions, or moves to another home jurisdiction during that period. The period ends when they apply fo… - Member lawsuits face review and cost rules: mixed, low. Lawsuits brought for a corporation require court approval to settle or end; seriously harmed members must receive notice. Courts must dismiss cases on the corporation’s motion when an eligible reviewing group gives informed, good-faith reasons that continuation harms corporate interests. The law se… - Member record access gains new limits: mixed, low. Members must send the secretary a signed inspection demand at least 10 business days ahead, up from five business days. Some records require six months of membership and a good-faith, proper purpose, with specific records directly tied to that purpose. Members can use an agent or lawyer; corporatio… - Members gain access to financial statements: mixed, low. Members can request the corporation’s prepared financial statements for its most recent fiscal year in writing. These include any applicable accountant’s report or explanation of the accounting basis.

A person can also give written consent that takes effect later or upon an event, even before becoming a member. A specified future time must be within 60 days after consent is provided. The… - Homeowner associations face new document rules: mixed, low.

Board committees can perform board functions. Each needs at least two directors unless the articles or bylaws provide otherwise. Other people can serve, but cannot vote when the committee performs board functions. Committees cannot approve or propose actions that state law requires members to appro… - Corporate officers get clearer staffing rules: mixed, low. Boards elect officers, and one person can hold multiple offices. Officers can appoint officers or assistants when the bylaws or board authorize it. Written resignations go to the board, its chair, the appointing officer, or secretary, and take effect on delivery unless delayed. Boards can remove of… - Corporation election inspectors get new duties: mixed, low.

These duties replace specific requirements to record challenge decisions and certify representation and vote counts. Inspectors can review corporate voting records and ot… - Corporations can choose courts for internal claims: mixed, low. Corporate bylaws can require internal claims to use specified Virginia circuit or federal district courts, with additional courts where permitted. The rule must be adopted before a case begins, and the chosen court must have authority over the parties and claim. Bylaws cannot create court authority… - Corporations gain flexibility in member voting: mixed, low. Corporations can set member classes, qualifications, and voting rights in bylaws without first authorizing them in their articles. Acting in good faith, they can accept voting forms from authorized representatives, with requested proof where required. One of three or fewer fiduciaries can sign if t… - Corporations gain longer lasting governance agreements: mixed, low. Authorized governance agreements can limit board powers; the law removes express authority to limit officer powers through these agreements. For corporations without voting members, an agreement can require dissolution when one or more directors request it. Agreements in articles or bylaws last ind… - Directors must document objections and waivers: mixed, low. Directors must sign written notice waivers and deliver them to the secretary for corporate records. Attendance waives notice unless the director objects at the start or promptly upon arrival and never supports the action. A director present for board or committee action is generally treated as agre… - Dissolved corporations can post claim deadlines: mixed, low. Dissolved corporations can publish claim notices once in a local newspaper or conspicuously on their website for at least 30 days. Covered claimants must start enforcement proceedings before the earlier of the normal legal deadline or three years after publication. Missing that deadline bars covere… - Known creditors get notice and deadlines: mixed, low. A dissolved corporation’s written notice must give known claimants at least 120 days to confirm claims in writing. For claims not admitted in whole or part, claimants must get at least 180 days to start enforcement proceedings. Missing an applicable deadline bars an unadmitted claim. When seeking a… - Member proxies gain terms, voting closes: mixed, low. A member's proxy lasts for the term listed on the appointment form. Without a stated term, it lasts 11 months, except for proxies that qualify as irrevocable. Corporations cannot accept ballots, proxies, votes, revocations, or changes after polls close. A member can ask the circuit court where the… - Members face shorter written consent deadlines: mixed, low. The law cuts the member consent collection period from 120 days to 60 days. Enough signed consents must reach the secretary within 60 days of the earliest signing date among delivered consents. A member can revoke consent before enough unrevoked consents arrive. Action takes effect when enough cons… - Members gain meeting rights with deadlines: mixed, low. When governing documents name no meeting caller, members holding at least one-twentieth, or 5%, of eligible votes can call a special meeting. Enough signed demands must reach the secretary within 60 days of the earliest signing date among delivered demands. Unless another record date applies, the f… - New meeting rules for corporation members: mixed, low.

Unless articles or bylaws say otherwise, withdrawing a special-meeting demand requires written notice received by the secretary bef… - Boards gain authority over corporate articles: mixed, low. Members cannot claim fixed property rights from provisions in a nonstock corporation’s articles, including management, purpose, or duration rules.

Nonstock corporations can provide broader legal-cost protection and expense advances through articles, bylaws, or a qualifying voting-member resolution. This added protection cannot cover willful misconduct or knowing violations of criminal law. A promise of protection to the fullest extent allowed… - Corporate boards gain more approval flexibility: mixed, low. Corporations can abandon approved changes to their articles before the certificate takes effect, without another member vote. The board chooses the method; already-filed changes require a statement of abandonment filed with the State Corporation Commission before that date. Boards can also approve… - Corporation closing costs get narrower wording: mixed, low. In dissolution cases involving unknown claimants, corporations must pay a court-appointed guardian's expenses, including expert witness fees. The law no longer expressly names the guardian's own fees. Courts can order payment of receivers' or custodians' compensation and expenses from corporate ass… - Corporations can fix invalid past actions: mixed, low. Corporations can validate past actions within their powers that were invalid because required authorization was missing. Boards generally must record the action, date, authorization failure, and approval; the initial board election has a special procedure. Members must also approve when the law, go… - Corporations can skip some transaction votes: mixed, low. A surviving or acquiring corporation can skip member approval when interests and rights stay identical and articles remain unchanged except for legally permitted amendments. Its articles can still require approval. A parent holding at least 90% of every voting class can complete specified subsidiar… - Court supervision changes for troubled corporations: mixed, low. A director or members holding at least 5% of voting power can seek court dissolution over director deadlock.

For sales r… - Member liability protections when corporations relocate: mixed, low.
