Section 2655-A. Bylaws of the authority  


Latest version.
  • 1. The board shall draft proposed
      bylaws for the organization and procedure of the authority. Such  bylaws
      shall  be  consistent  with  the  provisions of this title and all other
      state and federal laws, and shall contain a provision that  such  bylaws
      may only be amended after final adoption by a two-thirds vote of all the
      voting  members of the board. Upon the drafting of such proposed bylaws,
      the board shall conduct a public hearing on  such  proposed  bylaws  and
      solicit public comment on the same. After the public hearing and comment
      has  been  conducted  and solicited, the board shall adopt such proposed
      bylaws, with any amendments made  thereto  in  response  to  the  public
      hearing  and  comment,  and  shall  thereafter file the adopted proposed
      bylaws with the clerk of the county legislature.
        2. Within thirty days of the filing of such  adopted  proposed  bylaws
      with the clerk of the county legislature, the county legislature may, by
      a  two-thirds  vote of all the members of the county legislature, reject
      the proposed bylaws so filed  and  return  them  to  the  authority  for
      possible  amendment  and  redrafting. If the county legislature does not
      reject the proposed bylaws by such two-thirds vote within thirty days of
      the filing of the same, then such proposed  bylaws  so  filed  shall  be
      deemed  adopted  and in full force and effect. If the county legislature
      rejects the proposed bylaws by such two-thirds vote, then the  authority
      shall  amend  the  proposed  bylaws  as deemed appropriate. Such amended
      bylaws shall  be  filed  with  the  clerk  of  the  county  legislature,
      whereupon  the  county legislature may again consider the amended bylaws
      as in the same manner as  if  such  bylaws  had  been  originally  filed
      pursuant to subdivision one of this section.
        3. In the absence of bylaws which are deemed adopted and in full force
      and  effect,  the  authority  shall  operate  and  be  governed  by  the
      provisions of this title  and  the  most  recently  revised  edition  of
      Roberts Rules of Order.
