Last week, the Georgia Legislature approved Senate Bill 469, a bill which affects how Georgia corporations conduct their affairs by modernizing the Georgia Corporate Code. Specifically, the bill contains provisions which relate to: the approval process for corporate transactions; the advancement of expenses to persons entitled to indemnification as corporate directors and officers, as well as the obligation of a corporation to indemnify; proceedings during bankruptcy; and the process by which corporations, limited liability companies, and partnerships, may elect another legal form. The bill is awaiting signature by Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue.
