Section Legislative and Policy Activities
Sections may not represent to any person, including the legislature or any individual, committee or agency thereof, a position or proposal or any bill or act, as the position of the Section without the majority approval of the members of the section executive committee and prior approval of the Board. Sections that wish to sponsor legislation or take a position on any bill, rule or public policy issue must submit details of the proposal to the Bar's Public Affairs Department, which will inform the Board. Section requests that are time-sensitive will be presented to the Board's Public Affairs Committee, or the Public Affairs Committee chair, as appropriate, for consideration. Sections must keep the Bar's Public Affairs Department informed about the status of section legislative and policy-related activities.
