South Australian Current Acts South Australian Current Acts125—Alteration of rules of registered association
(1) An association
registered under this Part may resolve to alter its rules.
(2) The resolution
must be passed in accordance with the relevant rules of the association unless
the purpose of the proposed alteration is only to change the name of the
association in which case a resolution passed by a majority of the members
present and voting at an ordinary meeting of the association is sufficient
provided that at least 14 days' notice of the time and place of the meeting
was given to the members in accordance with the association's rules and the
notice of meeting contained the proposed resolution for the change of name.
(3) An alteration of
the rules of a registered association does not take effect unless and until
registered by SAET.
(4) If an alteration
of the rules of a registered association is of a kind that would or could
affect the composition of the membership of the association, notice of an
application for registration must be given, and objections may be made, in the
same way, and on the same or similar grounds, as if the application were for
registration of a new association.
(5) SAET (constituted
as an industrial relations commission) may register an alteration of rules if
satisfied that—
(a) the
alteration would be consistent with the provisions and objects of this Act;
and
(b) in
the case of a change of name—would not cause confusion with the name of
another registered association or the name of an organisation registered under
the Commonwealth (Registered Organisations) Act.
