A republication draft of our Constitution has been produced which incorporates all previously adopted amendments.
At our Annual Communication on February 13th, 2021, the voting delegates will consider substituting this republication draft for the most recently published 2015 version.
This republication draft, along with a cover letter from the chairman of the Jurisprudence Committee and the procedure for proposing amendments, may be downloaded by selecting the image at the left.
