PLL/SIS Bylaws Committee DESCRIPTION This Committee is charged with the responsibility of reviewing the SIS Bylaws annually and with recommending any changes it deems necessary to the Executive Committee, with soliciting imput for changes from the membership, and with drafting appropriate language. The Committee is further charged with making sure that the SIS
Bylaws are in compliance with AALL's Constitution and Bylaws. ANNUAL REPORTS IMPORTANT PROJECTS
Bylaws Revisions The PLL Executive Board and the Nominations Committee have been examining our nominations procedure and by-laws for some time. Two issues have been plaguing the SIS: the high cost of mail ballots for annual elections and the difficulty of finding members willing to run for office in a contested election. Many smaller Special Interest Sections and Chapters have moved to an uncontested election, where a slate of candidates submitted to the membership by the Nominations Committee would be accepted without an election in the traditional sense. The bylaw revisions before
you for the 2000 elections (office to be held 2000-2001) take into
account these two issues by giving the Nominations Committee
"permission " to submit one name per office , the ability to
announce the slate in PLL Perspectives (saving the costs of
mailing), and providing a mechanism for members to submit petitions for
further nominations. In addition, the By-laws Committee has standardized
our bylaws for clarity based on the AALL Model Special Interest Section
Bylaws. The major and substantive changes appear at Article IV, section
