AMENDMENTS

69.    By-laws of the Branch may be adopted, amended, or rescinded at a meeting of Branch Council by a majority of the voting members in attendance at the meeting.  Notice of any proposed amendment to the by laws of the Branch, including this General By law, will be given in writing and sent to the Immediate Past-President not less than 21 days before the date of the meeting at which the proposed amendment or amendments will be considered.  Not less than seven days before the meeting, the Immediate Past President will give written notice of the proposed amendments to the members of Branch Council.  Amendments made to any by-laws of the Branch must be submitted – for confirmation, further amendments or rejection – to the members of the Branch at its next Annual Meeting.  Amendments will be effective from the date of passage by Branch Council and will remain in effect until they have been confirmed, confirmed with amendments, or rejected by the members of the Branch at the Annual Meeting.   Where the by-law is confirmed, or confirmed with amendments, it continues in effect in the form in which it was confirmed.
