NPPA’s bylaws state, “The only difference between bylaws amendments, standing rules amendments, and policies and procedures amendments, is the minimum vote requirements to pass an amendment. Two-thirds of the board must vote in favor to pass a bylaw change, while standing rules require a simple majority. Policies and procedures can be changed by a simple majority vote of either the board or the executive committee.
