FAQ

Standing rules are the rules an organization uses to administer its affairs under the provisions of its Bylaws. A well-‐organized and efficient PTA should have a written set of procedures for putting its Bylaws into effect.

Standing Rules can be compiled by an executive committee or board of directors and recommended for adoption. This set of rules is adopted by a majority vote at the beginning of a meeting. It is recommended that every member have a copy of the rules; the rules can be read so that everyone is very aware of each rule.

Bylaws state when the meetings of the association are held. Standing rules tell where and what time association meetings are held, and when executive board meetings are held. Bylaws give the primary responsibilities of officers and chairmen. Standing rules give the specifics.

Corporate bylaws are legally required in Illinois. Illinois statute §805 ILCS 5/2.20 requires that bylaws be adopted either by shareholders at the first shareholder meeting or by directors at the initial director meeting.

An example of such a rule might be one setting the hour at which meetings are to begin, or one relating to the maintenance of a guest register. Standing rules generally are not adopted at the time a society is organized, but individually if and when the need arises." RONR (12th ed.)
