2655-A - Bylaws of the authority.

§  2655-a.  Bylaws of the authority. 1. The board shall draft proposed  bylaws for the organization and procedure of the authority. Such  bylaws  shall  be  consistent  with  the  provisions of this title and all other  state and federal laws, and shall contain a provision that  such  bylaws  may only be amended after final adoption by a two-thirds vote of all the  voting  members of the board. Upon the drafting of such proposed bylaws,  the board shall conduct a public hearing on  such  proposed  bylaws  and  solicit public comment on the same. After the public hearing and comment  has  been  conducted  and solicited, the board shall adopt such proposed  bylaws, with any amendments made  thereto  in  response  to  the  public  hearing  and  comment,  and  shall  thereafter file the adopted proposed  bylaws with the clerk of the county legislature.    2. Within thirty days of the filing of such  adopted  proposed  bylaws  with the clerk of the county legislature, the county legislature may, by  a  two-thirds  vote of all the members of the county legislature, reject  the proposed bylaws so filed  and  return  them  to  the  authority  for  possible  amendment  and  redrafting. If the county legislature does not  reject the proposed bylaws by such two-thirds vote within thirty days of  the filing of the same, then such proposed  bylaws  so  filed  shall  be  deemed  adopted  and in full force and effect. If the county legislature  rejects the proposed bylaws by such two-thirds vote, then the  authority  shall  amend  the  proposed  bylaws  as deemed appropriate. Such amended  bylaws shall  be  filed  with  the  clerk  of  the  county  legislature,  whereupon  the  county legislature may again consider the amended bylaws  as in the same manner as  if  such  bylaws  had  been  originally  filed  pursuant to subdivision one of this section.    3. In the absence of bylaws which are deemed adopted and in full force  and  effect,  the  authority  shall  operate  and  be  governed  by  the  provisions of this title  and  the  most  recently  revised  edition  of  Roberts Rules of Order.
