Can a bylaws proposal change be voted on immediately?

Question

A bylaws committee is presenting proposed changes for a vote at our next meeting. The entire membership has had the opportunity to read the proposed changes ahead of time. Someone plans to "slip in" an addition or change to the committee's proposal to be voted on at that same meeting. Is this legal? Where in RONR can the ruling be found? I would like to have documentation to support my objection to this, in the event it takes place. Thank you very much!

Answer 1

The current by-laws determine what can and can't be done as far as rule changes.  You need to read the full context of the by-laws.

Answer 2

Gil R is correct.  The organization that I belong to, our bylaws state any changes must be read aloud at two consecutive meetings and voted on at the third.  So check
