By-Law proposal passed 12-0-1(For, Against, Abstain) to add:
Section VIII: Amendments to the By-laws
Any amendment to the by-laws must be approved by a 2/3 vote. Proposed amendments to the by-laws must be submitted to the entire counsel at least one week before the vote.

By-Law proposal passed 10-3-1 (For, Against, Abstain) to add:
Prior Notification and Labeling to Avoid Conflicts of Interest:
Any member of the Student Council must inform a meeting of the Student Council before undertaking any non-Student Council public activity aimed at medical students. Any non-Student Council public activity organized by a Student Council member and aimed at medical students must be clearly labeled as "not a Student Council event." For the purposes of this paragraph, "non-Student Council activities" refers to activities which are not funded by the Student Council. The Student Council may, by simple majority, choose to forbid the activity if it decides that there is an irreconcilable conflict of interest between the activity and the member's responsibility to the student body.
