Bill 1-10-S
A bill to amend the Senate Bylaws in regard to Senate Hours.
Whereas:
When SGA Senators do not show up for the events that they have signed
up to work, the event suffers
Whereas:
When SGA Senators do not inform an executive member of their planned
absence in a reasonable amount of time, the event suffers.
Whereas:
Ongoing “no-show” senators show a lack of commitment to the Student
Government Association.
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED BY THE 72ND CONGRESS OF THE
STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION THAT:
Section 1:
A new section shall be created in the Senate Bylaws to address this issue.
Article VII
Section 2:
Section 2 shall read:
“ If a senator has signed up to work an event they are required to provide
24 hour notice if they are no longer able to fulfill their commitment. Email
notification must be sent to the individual responsible for the event and to
the Executive Vice president, notifying them of their absence. Failure to
provide appropriate notice would result in a reduction of senate hours
equal to those that he or she volunteered to work. The senator may choose
to find a replacement to avoid a reduction of senate hours. In the event
that the replacement senator does not show up for the event, they will be
subjected to the same reduction of hours.”
Section 3:
Sub-Section A of Section 2 shall read:
“After three violations of this policy, the senator will be up for
impeachment.”
Section 4:
Upon approval from the senate, this bill will go into effect immediately.
