JPEC Bylaws
ARTICLE XIIAMENDMENTS These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of all of the directors at any regular or special meeting, provided a notice of such meeting shall have contained a copy of the proposed alteration, amendment or repeal. In the event the Board finds a need for alteration, amendment or repealing of Articles II, III, IV, VII, VIII, XI or XII of the Bylaws, such proposed alteration, amendment or repeal shall first be submitted to the members by mail ballot for their approval or disapproval of the proposed action of the Board. Upon an approval vote of the membership of such proposed alteration, amendment or repeal, such change would take effect immediately. A disapproval vote by the membership would leave the Bylaws language unchanged.
