How to change the bye laws of a lodge
To change the by-laws of a lodge, the following procedure should be followed:
- Prepare a lodge notice containing the notice of motion to amend the by-laws.
- Draft two separate copies of the proposed amendments.
- Obtain a certificate signed by the Worshipful Master (W.M.) and the Secretary, under the seal of the lodge, confirming that the amendments were legally carried.
- Submit one complete set of the lodge by-laws along with the above documents to the Grand Secretary for the approval of the Grand Master.
It is important to note that a Master cannot suspend the by-laws; any changes must be made through proper amendment procedures.
