Amended and Restated Bylaws regulatory

"the Board of NextEra Energy approved amendments to NextEra Energy's Amended and Restated Bylaws"

A company’s amended and restated bylaws are its internal rulebook rewritten to include all changes in one updated document, replacing the old bylaws. For investors, this matters because the bylaws set how the board, shareholders and officers make decisions, hold votes and handle disputes; a new consolidated version can change voting rights, control mechanisms or procedures that affect corporate governance and the value or risk of an investment.
