Guest Allie Posted March 21, 2018 at 01:56 AM Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 at 01:56 AM If a motion was voted on and passed, but the effective date of the action contemplated in the motion is 3 months after the motion was passed (vote and passed in January, effective in March) is the motion considered adopted by the members the date it was voted on (but not effective) or is it adopted when it becomes effective?

Hieu H. Huynh Posted March 21, 2018 at 02:28 AM Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 at 02:28 AM If a motion passed, then it was adopted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hieu H. Huynh Posted March 21, 2018 at 02:34 AM Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 at 02:34 AM And it appears the motion was adopted in January, but becomes effective in March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted March 21, 2018 at 03:07 AM Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 at 03:07 AM Agreeing with Mr. Huynh, there is no need for the date of adoption and the effective date to be the same. Most legislation enacted by state legislatures, for example, has an effective date weeks or months in the future. A motion is adopted on the date that it was, well, adopted. The effective date can be a completely different date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Katz Posted March 21, 2018 at 03:49 AM Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 at 03:49 AM I agree with my colleagues above, but want to ask: is there some reason in this organization that it matters? I understand why we care about the adopted date of legislation, and in many cases about motions in corporate boards, but why would we care in an ordinary organization?
