If the membership approves an amendment, it is my understanding that it will not be able to take effect until the executive board votes on it at NEXT September's meeting, hence making it a part of the 2010-2011 season. If the question is voted on and approved by the body, it will go into effect this year since the executive board has already approved it. Correct me if I am wrong.
Doug, I won't go as far as saying you are wrong but to date there has been no evidence put forth from the bylaws supporting this!! I am working hard to bring clarification to this issue and hopefully will have an answer prior to Salina. It would be a shame if we walked into the State Body meeting, conducted business, only to later learn it was handled inappropriately.
I would also add that the Executive Council has not approved the proposed primary amendment on this. They shall only provide a recommendation to the State Body. It will be up to the body with a 2/3 vote to approve a change of this nature.
There as been some good points brought forth on this amendment and would only hope if a good change is presented that we won't delay it for a year! That just doesn't make sense to me.
