§ 101126 Board Internal Regulations Authority

This law lets a board make its own rules for how it runs its internal business whenever the existing rules don’t already cover that situation.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can create new regulations for its own operations.
  • •It can only do this when the current laws don’t already say what to do.
  • •The new rule must be adopted through a resolution or ordinance.

Example

A city council wants to set a rule that all members must submit their meeting notes within two days after each meeting.

Because there’s no existing rule about meeting notes, the council can pass a resolution or ordinance to create that rule for its own internal work.
