______________________________Program Council Structural Update_____________________________

Bill History

51LCB11, passed by Legislative Council nine years ago, lays out structural and programmatic guidelines for Program Council. Over that time, it has become obsolete as a representation of how Program Council functions. This bill seeks to update the official framework to better represent the current practices.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Bill Summary

This bill formally codifies the present working nature of Program Council by delegating authority of operation and programming decisions to Program Council and the UMC Board with oversight from Legislative Council. In doing so, Legislative Council does not set guidelines as to the nature of programming, beyond the annual budget, delegating such decisions to Program Council, unless specifically determined by future Legislative Council action.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

THEREFORE BE IT ENACTED, by the Legislative Council of the University of Colorado Student Union THAT:

SECTION 1: Program Council and the UMC Board are delegated authority over operational and programmatic decisions of Program Council, acting within the annual budget approved by Legislative Council.

SECTION 2: Legislative Council offers no programmatic guidelines and maintains oversight through its appointments to the UMC Board.

SECTION 3: Any future Legislative Council actions shall override the provisions of this bill.

SECTION 4: This bill takes effect upon passage by Legislative Council and approval by the Tri-Executives.
