Bylaws are a corporation’s (or other organization’s) internal governing rules—adopted by the owners/board—that explain how the organization is run.
They typically cover things like:
- the roles and powers of directors and officers
- meeting procedures, voting, and quorum requirements
- how directors/officers are elected or removed
- committees, recordkeeping, and other internal processes
(They’re different from articles/certificate of incorporation, which is the public filing that creates the entity.)
