Items to be Included in this Report

Item 5.03.    Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

On May 26, 2005, the Board of Directors of BJ Services Company (the "Company") approved amendments to the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the "Bylaws"). Prior to these amendments, the Bylaws provided that stockholders of the Company had until 90 days before the anniversary of the previous year's annual meeting of stockholders to bring items of business before, and nominate candidates for directorships at, the next annual meeting of stockholders. The amendments, which do not require stockholder approval and were effective upon the Board's approval, provide that if the date of an upcoming annual meeting of stockholders is more than 30 days before or after the date of the previous annual meeting of stockholders, then the deadline for such items of business and nominations is the later to occur of (i) the 10th day after the date of the upcoming annual meeting of stockholders is publicly announced and (ii) the 90th day before the upcoming annual meeting of stockholders.

The Board has not yet approved the date of the annual meeting of stockholders for 2006. The Company expects to announce the date of such meeting in a current report on Form 8-K after the Board approves such date.

The Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, effective May 26, 2005, are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.(ii).1 and are incorporated herein by reference.
