> "By-laws" is typically the name of the rules/"laws" inside of a company

I suspect that this should be qualified by "in the US"

No, I was talking about Spain, I have no idea how it works in the US. I thought mentioning "autonomous communities" was enough context to make it evident, but maybe it wasn't.

I was misled then by the word being in English. The name bye-law in British English generally applies to local authority (town or county) laws rather than the internal rules of a commercial entity.
