SGA Bill 6-05
 Sponsored by Richard Martin

In the current unratified section of the Student Government By-Laws, under Meetings, section 8 (absences) paragraph (C) reads: "Any absence will be determined excused or unexcused at the Executive Committee meeting based on the definition of an excused absence:

 1 . Death in the immediate family.
 2. Serious illness or injury.
 3. Examination during a Senate meeting.
 4. Other valid excuses shall depend upon the decision made at the Executive Committee
      meeting.


Pending a first reading by the President Pro-Tempore, a review by the internal affairs committee, and a two-thirds vote the following by-laws change will become effective:

 "All absences in the following list will be considered excused by SGA, all others will be subject to a majority vote by the Executive Committee: [The following is a list of excused absences]

 1 . Death in the immediate family.
 2. Serious illness or injury.
 3. Examination during a Senate meeting.
 4. Any academic activity significant to one's course of study. Documented proof will
      be required if a senator's excuse falls under section four.
