HD 2327 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act making amendments to the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act

HD 2327 amends the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act to clarify and update technical definitions and procedures for corporations. It modifies terms like "authorized shares" to include "series," revises the definition of "public corporation," and updates rules about director liability and registered offices. The bill makes minor wording corrections (such as changing "stock" to "shares" and fixing references to documents) without creating new requirements or altering substantive corporate governance. It directly affects Massachusetts corporations operating under Chapter 156D by standardizing legal terminology in their governing documents. This is a procedural amendment focused on precision, not policy change.
