ITEM 5.03(a)  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws;
              Change in Fiscal Year

On March 5, 2007, the Board of Directors of General Motors Corporation approved
amendments to the Corporation's Bylaws effective immediately.

Section 2.1, which establishes the number of directors as 12 unless changed from
time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors, was amended to add that
the Board will not change the number of directors to less than 3 nor more than
17 without the consent of GM's stockholders. (The current number of directors,
established by resolution of the Board, is 11.) The amendment also added a
provision stating that there is no vacancy on the Board as long as the number of
directors in office is equal to the number of directors established in Section
2.1 or by a resolution of the directors pursuant to Section 2.1.

In addition, Section 3.1 was amended to provide that the standing committees of
the Board include (rather than comprise) the committees listed in that section,
and to authorize the Board to establish an administrative committee to deal with
matters that are not expressly reserved to the jurisdiction of the Board or one
of its committees according to its delegation of authority and are not otherwise
significant. Section 3.2 has been amended to identify the specific committees of
the Board for which the members and chairmen shall be elected annually and that
are subject to the requirements that only Independent Directors shall be
members, rather than refer to the standing committees of the Board.
