Angie N Posted November 11, 2021 at 02:58 PM Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 at 02:58 PM Help please! Can a bylaw amendment be updated that doesn't change the meaning by calling a special meeting and adopting a resolution that the secretary be authorized to make such corrections or does notice and vote have to occur in a regular meeting? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! If this "bylaw amendment" to which you refer has been adopted it will be necessary to go through the amendment process once again in order to make any change in it.

Thank you! There is no rule in RONR against amending bylaws at a special meeting, unless the bylaws say it must be at a regular meeting. Sometimes they do. Sometimes they even say it must be an an annual general meeting. But regardless of what sort of meeting it is, all the other necessary steps must be complied with, such as previous notice, vote threshold, and whatever other requirements you have for bylaws amendments. An amendment is an amendment, even if it's just a semicolon that's being changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
