      Sec. 33-701. Record date. (a) The bylaws may fix or provide the manner of fixing 
the record date for one or more voting groups in order to determine the shareholders 
entitled to notice of a shareholders' meeting, to demand a special meeting, to vote or to 
take any other action. If the bylaws do not fix or provide for fixing a record date, the 
board of directors of the corporation may fix a future date as the record date.
      (b) A record date fixed under this section may not be more than seventy days before 
the meeting or action requiring a determination of shareholders.
      (c) A determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a shareholders' 
meeting is effective for any adjournment of the meeting unless the board of directors 
fixes a new record date, which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 
one hundred twenty days after the date fixed for the original meeting.
      (d) If a court orders a meeting adjourned to a date more than one hundred twenty 
days after the date fixed for the original meeting, it may provide that the original record 
date continues in effect or it may fix a new record date.
