BYLAWS STATUS REPORT – Local Sections Prepared by the Committee on Constitution and Bylaws Last updated 8/1517
Effective dates are grayed out for proposed bylaw changes that are currently in progress. Local Sections in red font have not updated their bylaws since 2000 or earlier. C&B continues to contact Local Sections to give them options to update their bylaws, which are available at www.acs.org/bulletin5. Local Section names and dates are bold if the bylaws were certified in 2017; notes are highlighted in yellow if the bylaws have been certified since the last ACS national meeting. NOTE: If C&B does not hear from a unit within fifteen months from the date that C&B sends its review and report, the Local Section will need to start the bylaw process over. Contact
[email protected] if you have any questions or comments, or if you would like to update your bylaws. Date Certified 5/24/2005
