Bylaw 9 currently says that 30 or more precinct chairs and vice chairs constitute a quorum of the Central Committee. This proposal increases that number to 100.
Bylaw 9 – Committee Procedures
| C. |
Central Committee. Proxies shall not be permitted, but a non voting representative may attend to obtain information on behalf of any absent member. The Central Committee shall meet as needed, but not less than once a quarter. Central Committee Meetings may be called by the Steering Committee, the Executive Committee or upon the petition of ten percent of the members of the Central Committee. A quorum shall exist when at least thirty one hundred Voting Precinct Chairs or Vice Chairs are present. |

The Central Committee has the power to over ride a veto by the Steering Committee, which over ride requires a two thirds majority vote of the quorum present, provided that the over ride occurs no later than the end of the next Central Committee Meeting held after the veto. |
