Title 17 Corporations, Partnerships and Associations

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

(ii) W.S. 17-16-853 or 17-16-855: (A) Is not a party to the proceeding; (B) Is not a director as to whom a transaction is a director's conflicting interest transaction or who sought a disclaimer of the corporation's interest in a business opportunity under W.S. 17-16-870, which transaction or disclaimer is challenged in the proceeding; and (C) Does not have a material relationship with a director described in either subparagraph (A) or (B) of this paragraph. (iii) W.S. 17-16-862, is not a director as to whom the transaction is a director's conflicting interest transaction, or a director who has a material relationship with another director as to whom the transaction is a director's conflicting interest transaction; or (iv) W.S. 17-16-870, would be a qualified director under paragraph (iii) of this subsection if the business opportunity were a director's conflicting interest transaction. (b) For purposes of this section: (i) "Material interest" means an actual or potential benefit or detriment, other than one which would devolve on the corporation or the shareholders generally, that would reasonably be expected to impair the objectivity of the director's judgment when participating in the action to be taken; (ii) "Material relationship" means a familial, financial, professional, employment or other relationship that would reasonably be expected to impair the objectivity of the director's judgment when participating in the action to be taken. (c) The presence of one (1) or more of the following circumstances shall not automatically prevent a director from being a qualified director: (i) Nomination or election of the director to the current board by any director who is not a qualified director with respect to the matter, or by any person that has a material relationship with that director, acting alone or participating with others; (ii) Service as a director of another corporation of which a director who is not a qualified director with respect to the matter, or any individual who has a material relationship with that director, is or was also a director; or (iii) With respect to action to be taken under W.S. 17-16-744, status as a named defendant, as a director against whom action is demanded or as a director who approved the conduct being challenged.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
