       Senator Garcia moved the following:
       
    1         Senate Amendment to Amendment (927562) (with directory and
    2  title amendments)
    3  
    4         Between lines 515 and 516
    5  insert:
    6         (h) Amendment of bylaws.
    7         1. The method by which the bylaws may be amended consistent
    8  with the provisions of this chapter shall be stated. If the
    9  bylaws fail to provide a method of amendment, the bylaws may be
   10  amended if the amendment is approved by the owners of not less
   11  than two-thirds of the voting interests.
   12         2. No bylaw shall be revised or amended by reference to its
   13  title or number only. Proposals to amend existing bylaws shall
   14  contain the full text of the bylaws to be amended; new words
   15  shall be inserted in the text underlined, and words to be
   16  deleted shall be lined through with hyphens. However, if the
   17  proposed change is so extensive that this procedure would
   18  hinder, rather than assist, the understanding of the proposed
   19  amendment, it is not necessary to use underlining and hyphens as
   20  indicators of words added or deleted, but, instead, a notation
   21  must be inserted immediately preceding the proposed amendment in
   22  substantially the following language: “Substantial rewording of
   23  bylaw. See bylaw _____ for present text.”
   24         3. Nonmaterial errors or omissions in the bylaw process
   25  will not invalidate an otherwise properly promulgated amendment.
   26         4. If the bylaws provide for amendment by the board of
   27  administration, no bylaw may be amended unless it is heard and
   28  noticed at two consecutive meetings of the board of
   29  administration that are at least 1 week apart.
