161st (2019) House of Delegates Proposed Resolutions

The following resolutions are those which met the February 19, 2019, deadline to be included in the Delegate's Handbook.  The individual or society introducing a late resolution must supply sufficient copies, printed in standardized format, for the entire House of Delegates at its opening session (plus 10 copies delivered to the MSMA Secretary at the time of its introduction). Late resolutions will be accepted as business of the House at the opening session, but will be referred to a  Reference Committee only if approved by two-thirds of the Delegates voting. All members of the MSMA are privileged and urged to attend the sessions of the House of Delegates and meetings of the Reference Committees.  While discussion in the House is limited to Delegates, any Association member may present his or her viewpoint during meetings of Reference Committees when recognized by the Chair. Email questions about resolutions or call 800-869-6762.
