Rules Committee - November 20, 2022
LPF Rules Committee held our regular meeting on October 26, 2022. We canceled our working meeting scheduled for November 9 due to Hurricane Nicole.

We reviewed and approved the following constitutional amendment motions recommitted to us from the 2022 Annual Business Meeting without modification to be included in the 2023 Rules Report:
2022-ABM-C01: Clarify Membership Rules in Article II
2022-ABM-C02: Notice Requirement in Article III
2022-ABM-C04: Election and Duties Deputy Secretary and Treasurer in Article III
2022-ABM-C05: Federal Campaign Finance Consultation in Article IV
2022-ABM-C07: Remove Stray “Among” from Article VIII

We reviewed and approved the following bylaws amendment motions recommitted to us from the 2022 Annual Business Meeting without modification to be included in the 2023 Rules Report:
2022-ABM-B02: Make Committee Terms Indefinite in Article III
2022-ABM-B04: Remove Special Conditions on Affiliate Support Committee in Article III

We determined that 2022-ABM-C03 no longer applies as 2021-ABM-C06 already had the same net effect. The remaining recommitted motions 2022-ABM-C06 and 2022-ABM-B01 deal with disaffiliation, reaffiliation, and consequences thereof which we plan to review and study carefully. 2022-ABM-B05 deals with LNC and LPF conventions, which we plan to review as well.
