Bylaws Health Check

Upload your bylaws and get a score out of 100 on the ten points that cause most procedural disputes — plus the loosely worded terms someone could stretch or redefine later. The score is free.

The ten points we check

  1. 1Parliamentary authority named (and edition)
  2. 2Quorum is realistic
  3. 3Electronic meetings and votes authorized
  4. 4Officer and director terms, limits, and vacancies
  5. 5Removal procedures
  6. 6Amendment procedure is workable
  7. 7Conflicts with charter, declaration, or state law (flag only)
  8. 8Conflict-of-interest and indemnification provisions
  9. 9Committees defined
  10. 10Meeting notice requirements

What you get

  • A score out of 100 and a rating on each point — free.
  • Loosely defined terms that could be stretched, reinterpreted, or used to sidestep the rules.
  • The full report on paid plans: what each section says, why it matters, and what to change, with the section numbers.
  • Drafted amendments on the Board plan: check the box next to a fix, and get the amendment text, the motions to read aloud, and a Word package for board approval.
