The Rules Committee is a committee responsible for updating and maintaining governing documents, assisting student organizations with club constitutions, and upkeeping the SGA Constitution.
Our goal is to ensure that clubs and RSOs have robust governing documents that aid them best in their goals and ensure the continuity of their organization on campus. We do that through reviewing and suggesting changes to club constitutions and bylaws to ensure procedural correctness.
We aid Senators during the “reading period” of legislation---and oftentimes before---in drafting, securing, and reviewing bills presented to the SGA Senate. Our role is to ensure that legislation that seeks to become law is clear, internally consistent, and aligned with our governing documents. correctness.
Each Fall Semester, we review the SGA constitution and present proposed changes to the SGA Senate and student body for approval. In the Spring Semester, we review the SGA bylaws and present/pass proposed changes to the SGA Senate. The Rules Committee ensures that the governing documents are treated as living documents and change with our government.
