Minn. R. agency 120, ch. 2740, MINNESOTA COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH ASSOCIATION, pt. 2740.2900
Every member is entitled to vote at the annual meeting and at any special meeting of the members.
A member's vote shall be a weighted vote based on the member's total cost of self-insurance, accident and health insurance premiums, subscriber contract charges, or health maintenance contract charges derived from or on behalf of residents of Minnesota in the previous calendar year, as determined by the commissioner. To the extent possible, this figure shall be determined by reference to the annual reporting form submitted by contributing members to the commissioner in accordance with part 2740.2500, subpart 4, and similar forms showing all other members' total accident and health insurance premiums, subscriber contract charges (defined as charges for business specified in part 2740.2100, subparts 1 and 2) received from or on behalf of residents of Minnesota, or total cost of self-insurance, as defined in part 2740.0100, subpart 58, as determined by the commissioner.
If the necessary information is not available to the commissioner on the form described in this subpart at the time that voting rights must be determined, the commissioner may estimate the member's weighted vote based on other information available to the commissioner.
Members are entitled to vote in person, by proxy, or by mail as determined by the board.
When a member elects to vote in person at a members' meeting, the representative casting the vote shall present credentials as required pursuant to the bylaws or operating rules of the association.
When a member elects to vote by proxy, the proxy statement as approved by the board shall be returned on or before the date indicated in the meeting notice sent to the members.
Voting by mail may be permitted as authorized by the bylaws or operating rules of the association, and the meeting notice to members shall so indicate.
