This chapter applies to all domestic corporations incorporated on or after its effective date as specified in § 4-27-1706. A corporation incorporated prior to such effective date under any general statute of this state providing for incorporation of corporations for profit may elect to be governed by the provisions of this chapter by amending its articles of incorporation to provide that it shall be so governed. Such election may be made at any time on or after midnight, December 31, 1987, but once made shall be irrevocable. The amendment to the articles of incorporation effecting such election must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the shares of each outstanding class of the corporation's capital stock. Domestic corporations existing prior to midnight, December 31, 1987, which do not elect to be governed by its provisions shall continue to be governed by preexisting law.
