Guest Gloria Wilson Posted June 16, 2016 at 11:46 PM Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 at 11:46 PM Can a motion to amend something previously adopted be used to correct a bylaw at any meeting of the society? Our society bylaws state that bylaws can only be amended in even numbered years at the Annual Meeting. Instance 1: Bylaw states . . .in the last quarter of the year (Feb, Mar, Apr, May). However we run a 12 month year from June 1 through May 31. The word Feb. should be dropped. Instance 2: Bylaw states: Annual dues . and will be considered delinquent after May 1 . A member whose dues are not paid by May 1 will be automatically dropped from the rolls. Our membership year is June 1 through May 31. Your comments will be most appreciated.

I agree with Hieu that amending the bylaws requires amending the bylaws. Also, a motion to amend the bylaws is a motion to amend something previously adopted, but with special requirements for its adoption. However, if the bylaws contradict themselves, then the society will have to interpret how they should be applied until there is an opportunity to amend them.
