Article XIX
AMENDMENTS TO BY-LAWS
Immediately upon the adoption of these By-Laws, they are to be enrolled in a special By-Laws Book to be provided for that purpose; and thereafter, no amendment to the By-Laws becomes operative until it is enrolled in the Book of By-Laws and made available for inspection by any member.
These By-Laws may be amended, altered, or repealed by a two-thirds vote of the membership present at any regular or special membership meeting if notice of the proposed change has been mailed by the President to each member not less than ten (10) days prior to such meeting. All proposed amendments must first be submitted to the Board for its recommendation and in case the Board fails to act within thirty (30) days following submission of the proposal, it may be submitted to membership vote by petition containing fifteen (15) percent of current membership.
