We are currently changing our by-laws. In our old by-laws it says you form a committee to make the changes then that comittee presents the changes at a regular meeting, then at the next regular meeting the members vote on excepting or rejecting the changes and you need a 2/3 vote to get it passed.
Its not a good idea to make changes without the members voting to except them.
If your by-laws don't have anything on how to amend your by-laws your PTO realy should put it in.
We Plan to Post our old by-laws and the changes to them on one of the schools bulleting boards so anyone can see them before the vote.
I didn't know about the IRS either. Is that the law? We went through the whole voting process & they are officially changed. I just didn't know if I needed to make some note in the bylaws that it was ammended.
When we revised our bylaws a couple of years ago a committee was set up at a general meeting. When the revisions were finished the changes were read and approved by the general members.
We recently made changes to our by-laws and what we did was to make a sheet showing all the changes and distributed it at our meeting. We then held a vote for approval and everyone who attended signed a sheet that stated that they had approved the amendments to the by-laws. We attached the amendment description sheet and sent a copy to our IRS contact since we have an advanced ruling for our 501(c)3 status.
We have made some changes to our bylaws. I have made the changes. Do I need to show that the changes were made into the bylaws some how? How do I do that?
