A BILL
A BILL SUMMARY

Amends Article II B.2.a. of the UCSU By-Laws.

BILL HISTORY

The UCSU By-Laws state that the Executive Veto must be submitted in
written form within six days after approval by the Executive Council.
This leaves too much room for interpretation: when does the actual six
days begin? What happened if the Executives do not receive a bill along
with other bills to be signed?

Union, THAT:
