Guest LVK Posted October 21, 2019 at 01:35 AM Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 at 01:35 AM Can a body, or chair/leader of a body, choose to ignore existing by laws for purposes of expediency? What happens to a motion, made and passed by the body, that violates by laws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.S.M Posted October 21, 2019 at 01:40 AM Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 at 01:40 AM (edited) Any motion that violates by laws is an improper motion any action taken on an improper motion is null and void.

Richard Brown Posted October 21, 2019 at 02:27 AM Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 at 02:27 AM (edited) Comment essentially deleted because I mis-read the original post. I thought the question was about adopting a motion in violation of law rather than one which violates the bylaws.

R.S.M Posted October 21, 2019 at 02:31 AM Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 at 02:31 AM I was thinking he said violation of By-Laws. Reference pg 343 under Improper Motions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted October 21, 2019 at 02:32 AM Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 at 02:32 AM Just now, R.S.M said: I was thinking he said violation of By-Laws. Reference pg 343 under Improper Motions. You are right. He did, and I deleted my comment just as you were posting yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bylaw violation is a continuing breach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer to this question depends upon the exact nature of the motion involved. PS - "Bylaws" is one word. Edited October 21, 2019 at 11:30 AM by Daniel H.

Please provide more information regarding the motion and the conflict with the bylaws.
