The first set of proposed by-laws do make several changes. The draft that is in progress now addressees some of the ones proposed, leaves some of them like they were in the original and adds entirely new amendments. In our by-laws it states that members must be given 30 days notice and must be done at an annual meeting. The by-laws committee is ad-hoc and appointed by the President only when it is time for revision. Only one person from that original committee has been asked to stay on. The by-laws do state that if it is not covered in the by-laws we are to follow Roberts Rules of order on procedure. De we need to make a motion at our next Annual meeting to address the last set and then begin work on a new set. It is very confusing for the members to have 2 at the same time. Thank you for your assistance on this.

I am part of a small Association started 150 years ago. We are a non-denominational Christian campground. 3 years ago we presented by-law changes at our Annual Meeting with the plan to have a year to review and then vote on them. The president took no action on them. The President has recently appointed another group to begin putting together new by-law changes. Is this allowed under Roberts Rules? My interpretation of Roberts Rules is that before new by-laws can be proposed the original changes that were proposed 3 years ago must be voted on at the next Annual Meeting. Hoping for some answers quickly since we have a meeting tomorrow.
