Guest jp_bay_area Posted April 12, 2023 at 12:57 AM Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 at 12:57 AM Based on RONR(12th ed.) 2:8(4)(b), 25(7) a existing Bylaw cannot be suspended. Is this correct? If it is correct, then the only option is to amend the bylaws to change them to achieve the "suspension". Is this correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted April 12, 2023 at 06:10 AM Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 at 06:10 AM (edited) In general yes, but if the bylaw in question has language that provides for its own suspension, then that is allowed. Also, a rule placed in the bylaws that is properly in the nature of a rule of order (i.e. relating to the orderly conduct of business within a meeting) may be suspensible if it steers clear of some additional pitfalls. Refer to 25:7-13 for information on what rules may not be suspended. And check the references you find within those paragraphs as well. If you describe the bylaw that you're interested in suspending, we may be able to give you more specifics.
