Title 33, Chapter 15, Section 21
( 33-15-21)
(a) The principal office of any domestic society shall be located in
this state. The meetings of its supreme governing body may be held
in any state, district, province, or territory wherein such society
has at least one subordinate lodge, or in such other location as
determined by the supreme governing body, and all business
transacted at such meetings shall be as valid in all respects as if
such meetings were held in this state. The minutes of the
proceedings of the supreme governing body and of the board of
directors shall be in the English language. (b)(1) A society may provide in its laws for an official
publication in which any notice, report, or statement required by
law to be given to members, including notice of election, may be
published. Such required reports, notices, and statements shall
be printed conspicuously in the publication. If the records of a
society show that two or more members have the same mailing
address, an official publication mailed to one member is deemed to
be mailed to all members at the same address unless a member
requests a separate copy. (2) Not later than June 1 of each year, a synopsis of the
society's annual statement providing an explanation of the facts
concerning the condition of the society thereby disclosed shall be
printed and mailed to each benefit member of the society or, in
lieu thereof, such synopsis may be published in the society's
official publication. (c) A society may provide in its laws or rules for grievance or
complaint procedures for members. |
