in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law limits what the corporation and its leaders can do. It can't issue stock, pay dividends, or fund political candidates or parties. Its money can't benefit officers or directors personally, and it can't loan them money.

(a) Stock and Dividends. The corporation can't issue stock, or declare or pay a dividend. (b) Political Activities. Neither the corporation, nor a director or officer acting in that role, can contribute to, support, or help a political party or a candidate for public office. (c) Distribution of Income or Assets. The corporation's income or assets can't be used to benefit, or be given to, a director, officer, or member personally — not while the corporation exists, and not when it dissolves or winds up. This doesn't stop the corporation from paying an officer a salary the board of directors approves. (d) Loans. The corporation can't loan or advance money to a director, officer, or employee. Directors who vote for or agree to such a loan, and officers who help carry it out, are personally and jointly responsible to the corporation for paying back the loan until it's repaid.
