39 SCCLL News 1 (2013)

handle is hein.lbr/alsclnws0039 and id is 1 raw text is: A Newsletter of the State, Court and County Special Interest Section of the American Association of Law Libraries SCCLL Chair Barbara Fritschel charged this year's Bylaws Committee (Venita Hoover and Maryruth Storer, Chair) to review the existing Bylaws and compare them to the Model SIS Bylaws developed by AALL's Bylaws & Resolutions Committee. We were also requested to solicit suggestions for Bylaws changes from SCCLL Committee Chairs and SCCLL's membership, particularly how the Bylaws might be revised to better reflect the SCCLL Strategic Directions. The SCCLL Bylaws were last amended in July 2007 at the Annual Meeting in New Orleans. We compared them to the Model SIS Bylaws and noted several areas for revision: The existing provision regarding dues should be omitted (all aspects of that topic are controlled by AALL, so it does not need to be included) 0 Establishing consistency in language, particularly in referring to Officers Changing the election procedure in the event of a tie (since the 1990s, AALL has required that SIS elections must be completed no later than 2 months prior to the AALL Annual Meeting) Late last fall, we posted to the SCCLL list asking for suggestions for Bylaws changes connected to aligning them with the SCCLL Strategic Directions, and we received no responses. We then proceeded to draft proposed revisions to align the SCCLL Bylaws with the Model SIS Bylaws. Those revisions also resulted in re-numbering many of the articles. The draft Bylaws have been submitted, as required by AALL, to the AALL Bylaws and Resolutions Committee for its approval, and that committee found nothing substantive in the proposed bylaws that warrant changes. The SCCLL Executive Committee plans to submit the proposed amendments to the section membership as part of the spring election process. Amendments to the Bylaws require a thirty (30) day notice to the membership by publication in the Section's newsletter, so this article constitutes that notice.
