Bylaw Committee

We regularly need to review and update our local lodge bylaws. To see the current bylaws click here. The committee was formed during the January 18, 2022 regular meeting

Committee members: Jason Cox, Alan Carrillo and Fernando Romo

We met Sept 9, 2025 to finalize the changes. You can review them at this link HERE

I will post updates here after any committee meeting.

From the IAMAW Constitution

ARTICLE D
GOVERNMENT OF LOCAL LODGES
Bylaws
SEC. 1. Each L.L. may adopt its own bylaws, provided that nothing is contained therein which is contrary to the provisions of this Constitution. The proposed bylaws of all L.Ls. and all amendments thereafter proposed, except as to time and place of meetings, shall be submitted to the I.P. for examination, correction, and approval before being placed into effect. The I.P., upon approving any L.L. bylaws and/or amendments thereto, shall designate the date when such L.L. bylaws and/or amendments shall take effect.

There is a process in which the bylaws need voted on and approved by the local members in good standing. Per our local lodge bylaws

Any other amendments to these bylaws must be handled on the basis of

the following procedures:

(a) All proposals must be in writing, signed by not less than five (5)
members, and referred to a Bylaws Committee appointed by the President.
(b) Must be read as proposed at two (2) consecutive meetings.
Immediately following the second reading, the Bylaws Committee shall
submit their recommendations.
(c) Reasonable advance notice must be given to the membership of the
time, date and place of the second reading, and vote to be taken on the
Bylaws Committee’s recommendations.
(d) Each proposal must be considered and voted upon separately. A
majority affirmative vote by those present and voting is needed for
adoption.
(e) Triplicate copies of approved proposals, together with the master
copy of bylaws shall be referred to the International President for approval
and designation of an effective date.
