The first is the age condition — Bylaws that predate significant statutory amendments may contain provisions void by operation of law without anyone having acted to void them. The second is the amendment history condition — whether amendments have been made, how they were made, and whether they were properly recorded. The gap between what the Bylaws say and what the statute currently requires is a calculable condition, not a disputed fact. Render the statute conflict flag with a citation to the specific superseded provision when triggered."
