COUNCIL ON LEGISLATION
The 2004 Council on Legislation, met in Chicago, Illinois, USA from 14 to 18 June. The Council considered many proposals such as increasing the per capita dues by US$4 per year over a period of three years, and amending the constitution to allow attendance credit for 30 minutes of activity at a Rotary club website.
The decision to increase dues was as follows:
Each
club shall pay to RI per capita dues for each of its members as follows:
US$19.50 per half year in 2004-2005, US$21.50 per half year in 2005-2006 and
US$23.50 per half year in 2006-2007 and thereafter. Such dues shall remain
constant until changed by the council on legislation.
Pro-rated Dues: The following per capita dues in prorated amounts shall be
payable by each club for each member who has been elected to membership in
the club subsequent to the July or January semi-annual period for which dues
are payable: US$9.75 in 2004- 2005, US$10.75 in 2005-2006 and US$11.75 in
2006-2007 and thereafter. The prorated per capita dues are due and payable
on 1 October and 1 April.
