MAY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Energy and Telecommuni- cations AN ACT to amend the rural electric cooperative law, in relation to allowing meetings of members to be held partially or solely by means of electronic communication THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Subdivisions (c), (d) and (e) of section 17 of the rural electric cooperative law are amended to read as follows: (c) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter written or printed notice stating the time and place of each meeting of the members and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given to each member, either personally or by mail, not less than ten days nor more than [twenty-five] FORTY-FIVE days before the date of the meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail with postage prepaid addressed to the member at his address as it appears on the records of the cooperative. (d) Unless the by-laws prescribe the presence of a greater percentage or number of the members for a quorum, a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the members of a cooperative having not more than one thousand members, shall be five per centum of all members, present in person OR ELECTRONICALLY, and of a cooperative having more than one thousand members, shall be fifty members, present in person OR ELECTRONICALLY. THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT PREVENT A COOPERATIVE FROM ADOPTING A BY-LAW THAT ONLY ALLOWS AN IN-PERSON QUORUM FOR MEETINGS OF MEMBERS. If less than a quorum is present at any meeting, a majority of those present in person may adjourn the meeting from time to time with- out further notice.
