The laws in the state in which the organization is incorporated come first.
Then the bylaws, then Special Rules of Order (and I'm not sure that we have
any of those that apply in this situation-- we have some that apply to
conduct in a conference call meeting and those that apply to voting for judges
for
the National Specialty and perhaps some others that cannot be changed except
by previous notice and 2/3 vote) but most of our P&P manual has to do with
administrative things --not with "Rules of Order" --so after Special Rules of
Order comes Roberts Rules of Order --then "standing rules" which are things
that can be changed by majority vote at any meeting -- So Laws come first ---

Stormy is correct in her reference to what RRONR states...BUT...if the

What I WOULD like to know if I am correct in thinking that so long as the
By-Laws and P&P don't contradict State law, they would be the first
reference...RRONR next, and only then do we refer to the actual laws of the
State. However, when actions are taken that conflict with any or all of
these, and actually become illegal according to the law of the state, it's
all moot, is it not? I guess what I'm asking is "what is the order in
which
we must proceed...because we have to do it backwards, do we not?"
First, we must follow the by-laws and the P&P.
If something isn't covered there, then we refer to RRONR.
And, as a LAST resort, if no one is able to find out from the above
materials just what the correct procedure is, then we must resort to the
law of the land (state, country, whatever)...............
Is there an intelligent person who knows the answer to this?
