Terms Used In Indiana Code 36-3-4-6

  • Month: means a calendar month, unless otherwise expressed. See Indiana Code 1-1-4-5
  • Presiding officer: A majority-party Senator who presides over the Senate and is charged with maintaining order and decorum, recognizing Members to speak, and interpreting the Senate's rules, practices and precedents.
  • Statute: A law passed by a legislature.
     (b) A special meeting of a legislative body shall be held when called by its president or presiding officer or when called by at least two-fifths (2/5) of its members, at any place in the county designated in the call.

     (c) No notice of a regular meeting, or meeting required by statute, need be given to a member of a legislative body. For a special meeting, a written notice specifying the time and place of the meeting must be delivered, mailed, or sent by telegram to all members so that each member has at least seventy-two (72) hours notice of the meeting. However, this requirement is waived as to a member if the member:

(1) attends the meeting; or

(2) executes a written waiver of notice of the time and place of the meeting.

A written waiver of notice may be executed before or after the meeting, but it must state in general terms the purpose of the meeting if executed after the meeting.
