Article V Section IV

Rules and Bylaws

School Area Committees are not required to adopt rules/bylaws, but are encouraged to do so. For each area committee which adopts rules/bylaws, such rules/bylaws shall not be inconsistent with the Rules of the State Party, County Committee, or law. The rules/bylaws of the area committee shall govern the operation of the party within their respective area. Area Committees shall file copies of their rules/bylaws with the Secretary of the County Committee and shall supply the names and addresses of members of their committees following each reorganization meeting of the area committee and following each amendment to the rules/bylaws. Such rules/bylaws, or changes thereto, shall not be effective until filed with the Secretary of the County Committee.

Upon notification from the County Chairman that the committee’s rules/bylaws are inconsistent with the State Party Rules, the County Committee Rules, and/or law, the area committee shall take prompt steps to amend its rules/bylaws to make them consistent. The County Committee will assist the area committees in the drafting and adoption of rules/bylaws upon request. No area or district committee shall operate inconsistently with the Rules of the Republican Committee of Lancaster County.
