A member may become liable to a corporation for dues, assessments or fees. A provision of the articles of incorporation or bylaws or a resolution the board of directors adopts to authorize or impose dues, assessments or fees does not, of itself, create liability to pay the obligation, but nonpayment may constitute grounds for expelling or suspending the member or suspending or terminating the membership without a hearing. [1989 c.1010 § 45; 2019 c.174 § 33]
