§ 1944 Improper Deviations

This law says that any change or deviation that isn’t specifically mentioned in the previous section is not allowed.

Key Takeaways

  • •Only deviations that are explicitly listed are permitted.
  • •Any other changes are considered improper.
  • •The rule applies to procedural or regulatory modifications.

Example

A city council wants to change the way it collects parking fees, but the change isn’t listed in the earlier section that outlines allowed procedures.

Because the new method isn’t listed, the council must follow the old procedure; using the new method would be considered improper under this rule.
