This section also provides the text of Chapter 4.5 of the California educational code concerning auxiliary organizations, information on insurance, tax laws for exempt organizations, and procedures for achieving tax exempt status. The third section provides sample articles of incorporation and bylaws for auxiliary and independent foundations, while the next two sections discuss the development and organization of the board of directors.
