(1) To keep the Bylaws of the VDA in a consistent and accurate condition by proposing new and appropriate amendments to the Board of Directors and the House of Delegates when deemed necessary; (2) to review all Constitution or Bylaws amendments proposed by the Board of Directors; (3) to review all Constitution or Bylaws amendments proposed in reports of Reference Committees of the House of Delegates before action by the House and (4) to review any Constitution or Bylaws change after passage by the House.  Review is for the purpose of assuring clarity and appropriateness of language, consistency with other parts of the Constitution or Bylaws.  In such review, the Committee is authorized to make necessary changes in wording or in numbering which will in no way alter the sense of the intent of the amendment as proposed by the Reference Committee and passed by the House.  The Committee can also revise the House of Delegates Manual of Standing Rules for the Annual Session as necessary to insure conformity with the Constitution and Bylaws.

Membership on this committee is by virtue of a position held: Speaker of the House, Parliamentarian and Past President.  In addition, there are two at-large positions that are appointed by the VDA president. The at-large positions serve four-year terms and can serve two consecutive terms. 

The Committee meets as needed at the call of the chair.  However, it usually meets during the Winter Committee meetings in January and during the Annual Meeting to review the Reference Committee Report(s).
