Item 5.03  AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR
 

On June 20, 2007, the Board of Directors of Dominion Resources, Inc., (the “Company” or “Dominion”) adopted amendments to Dominion’s Bylaws effective as of such date.  Apart from non-substantive language and conforming changes and other technical and cross-reference edits, the Bylaws were amended and restated to implement the following:

Article III. Annual Meeting.  This section has been amended to allow the Board, from year to year, to determine the date of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders during the period May 1 through May 31.

Article XII. Manner of Election of Directors.  This section has been amended to reflect a change in the Virginia Stock Corporation Act allowing for a true majority vote standard and provides that, in the case of an uncontested election, if a director does not receive a majority vote, that director shall tender a resignation to the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors has 90 days to act on the offered resignation.

The foregoing is a brief description of the amendments to the Company’s Bylaws and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws.  This description should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated by reference.
