Hello m3cpiggy, thank you for your question and subsequent
clarification.
The specific piece of law that refers to the timing notification of
share holder meetings, can be found under the "New York State
Consolidated Laws" "Business Corporation - Index" under article 6
section 605.
(In other words the period of notification is laid down in law by the
New York State Assembly)
Article 6: Shareholders
Sec 605. Notice of meetings of shareholders.
"Notice of any meeting shall be given not fewer than ten
nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting,
provided,
however, that such notice may be given by third class mail not
fewer
than twenty-four nor more than sixty days before the date of
the
meeting, to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting."

The periods of "not less than ten nor more than sixty days" are fairly
consistent throughout the states although as you noted there is some
variation.
Standard template for a companys by laws
"Section 4. Notice. Written notice stating the place, day and hour of
the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or
purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less
than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the meeting"
