82.251  Expulsion of member; suspension or termination of membership.

      1.  A member may not be expelled or suspended, and a membership may not be terminated or suspended, except pursuant to a procedure that is fair and reasonable and is carried out in good faith. This section does not apply to the termination of a membership at the end of a fixed term.

      2.  A procedure is fair and reasonable when it is fair and reasonable taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances. In addition, a procedure is fair and reasonable if it provides:

      (a) Not less than 15 days’ prior written notice of the expulsion, suspension or termination, and the reasons for it; and

      (b) An opportunity for the member to be heard, orally or in writing, not less than 5 days before the effective date of the expulsion, suspension or termination by a person authorized to decide that the proposed expulsion, termination or suspension not take place.

      3.  A proceeding challenging an expulsion, suspension or termination, including a proceeding in which defective notice is alleged, must be begun within 1 year after the effective date of the expulsion, suspension or termination.

      4.  The expulsion or suspension of a member, or termination of a membership, does not relieve the member from obligations the member may have to the corporation for dues, assessments or fees or charges for goods or services.
