Search term = uniform code Results =

1. Review the Law.

What can the Bethel change?

2. Check the Bethel’s Uniform Code  What are the current approved values?

For example: “The initiation fee shall be $ 20.00

3. Bethel Guardian Council recommends a change in the initiation fee to the Daughters 4. Bethel Guardian Council presents the proposed amendment in writing to the Honored Queen

5. The Honored Queen presents the proposed amendment to the Daughters under New Business during a regular Bethel meeting. 6. A copy of the motion is mailed to each member of the Bethel.

NO FURTHER ACTION IS TAKEN AT THIS MEETING

7. At the next regular meeting of the Bethel, the motion to raise the initiation fee is not discussed.  It lays over one meeting

8. At the second regular meeting of the Bethel following the meeting at which the proposed amendment was presented, it is brought up under Unfinished Business.

Form 122

The current information in this Article and Section of the present Bethel Bylaws The proposed way that this Article and Section will read

Jurisprudence will review the dates on the Form 122. If the dates do not correspond to what is currently listed in the directory for day and week of meetings, please ensure a note is sent with your Form 122 to the Chairman of Jurisprudence explaining the discrepancy… There was a Special Dispensation… The meeting would have occurred during the vacation period… The directory is incorrect, etc…

10.The Jurisprudence Committee reviews the change and forwards both copies of the submitted paperwork to the Grand Guardian, who reviews and forwards both copies to the Grand Secretary.  The Grand Secretary sends one approved copy to the Bethel Guardian, and retains the second copy.  The approved Uniform Code change is kept in the Permanent Record Book.  The change to the initiation fee becomes effective when the signed paperwork is received by the Bethel.
