Rule Change Proposals to be considered at the 2024 National Convention.
PHBA Rule 26. Proposed Rule Changes. Proposed rule changes must be submitted in writing to PHBA one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the Board of Directors meeting for publication on the PHBA website in order to be acted upon at that meeting.
The president will assign proposed rule changes to specific committees for their recommendations. Some committees may be asked to review a proposed rule change and report their recommendations to another committee that ultimately reports to the Board of Directors. Committee Chairs will need to coordinate that input. Committees are free to discuss other proposed rule changes but the assigned committee’s recommendation is that which will be used during voting at the Board of Directors Meeting.
Per PHBA Rule 28; all rule change proposals will be reviewed by the By-laws and General Rules Committee
