Committee Report

The committee explained its function for the benefit of first-time delegates. It noted that rules are adopted to allow delegates the opportunity to speak and present any arguments and to listen and vote on the issues brought before the assembly. The rules have changed little over the last 10 Conventions. The committee read each of the 20 rules, which covered everything from the hours of the convention to the submission of resolutions to roll call voting. The report was presented and approved on Day 1.
