amending a budget already adopted

[Ronnieb]

Can any member make a motion to ammend or change a budget which has already been approved for the fiscal year. Is such a motion allowed?

[Bruce Lages]

Yes, it is - with the stipulation that the assembly in which the member makes such a motion has the power to act on the budget. For example, if your general membership adopted the budget initially, absent any special bylaw provisions a board member could not introduce such a motion at a board meeting, And conversely, if your bylaws give exclusive authority over the budget to the board, a member could not introduce such a motion at a general membership meeting.
