At a meeting of the Board of Directors of

“company”) held on May 23, 2024, our Board of Directors adopted an amendment (the “Amendment”) to our
Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “By-Laws”) to provide that, subject to certain exceptions, the Court of Chancery of
the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or
proceeding brought on behalf of the company, (ii) any action based upon a violation of a duty owed by any current or former
director, officer, employee, agent or stockholder of the company to the company or its stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a
claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws, or
as to which the Delaware General Corporation Law confers jurisdiction upon the Court of Chancery, or (iv) any action asserting a
claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The Amendment also designates the U.S. federal district courts as the sole and
exclusive forums for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the company shall be
deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of the Amendment, which was effective upon its adoption by the Board of
Directors.
The foregoing
description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the
Amendment, a copy of which is included attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report and incorporated by reference herein.

Exhibit 3.1
AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AMENDED AND RESTATED BY-LAWS
OF EMMAUS LIFE SCIENCES, INC.
The Amended and Restated By-laws of Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc. (formerly
CNS Response, Inc. and MYnd Analytics, Inc.”) are hereby amended to add thereto a new Article VIII as follows:
“ARTICLE VIII
CERTAIN LITIGATION MATTERS
Section 8.01 Delaware Forum. Unless
the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the
Court of Chancery does not have, or declines to accept, jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall be
the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action based
upon a violation of a duty owed by any current or former director, officer, employee, agent or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation
or the Corporation's stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation
Law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these by-laws, or as to which the Delaware General Corporation Law confers jurisdiction upon
the Court of Chancery, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine; in each case, subject to said court
having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein. If any action the subject matter of which is
within the scope of this Section 8.01 is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “Foreign
Action”) in the name of any current or former stockholder (including any current or former
beneficial owner of stock), such person shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce this Section 7.01 (an “Enforcement
Action”); and (y) having service of process made upon such person in any such Enforcement
Action by service upon such person’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such person.
Section
8.02 Securities Claims. The federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum
for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, and for the avoidance of doubt, this Article shall not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability
created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Section
8.03 Consent. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation
shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article VIII.”
