Question: When does a motion passed at a meeting become valid?
When does a motion passed at a precinct association (or community association) meeting become valid?
Is it valid at the meeting once the motion is passed or is it not valid until the minutes of the meeting have been sent to all in attendance?
Answer: The resolution from a motion is valid as soon as it is made
As far as I am concerned, the resolution from a motion is valid as soon as it is made (i.e. the chairperson declares an outcome).
There are certain flow-on issues that come from motions (e.g. a by-law isn’t registered or in force until registered), but if you were to take a motion such as the passing of a budget or levies – the resolution would be made/valid until overturned.
