Need ASAP New business dealing with financials

[Guest Vickie]

I know a member can bring new business to the last house session without notice if the delegates vote unanimously to consider it and they also must vote unanimously to adopt.  However, does this rule still apply if the new business is raising dues? 

 

Thanks

Nothing in RONR requires unanimous consent to bring new business without notice. Any such requirement will be in your organization's own rules, which is where you will need to look in order to determine the answer to your question.

No one here knows this.

 

How do you know this?

I know of no case where the rule applies ever, at least there is no rule in RONR like that.

 

But, in many organizations, the dues amount is set in the bylaws.  If that's the case in yours, the rules in your bylaws pertaining to their own amendment must be followed, and cannot be suspended even by a unanimous vote.
