At the American Chemical Society Council meeting in Orlando, Florida, on April 3, councilors voted by a recorded vote to approve an amendment to the proposed Petition to Streamline the ACS Governing Documents (constitution articles I–XIX, bylaws I–XIV, and standing rules I–IX). The amendment proposed that standing rule II, sections 2 a, 2 b, and 2 g be moved to the bylaws as new sections 2 a, 2 b, and 2 c of proposed bylaw III with appropriate renumbering of the other sections of bylaw III and standing rule II. The official count, with individual votes cast as recorded below, showed 377 in favor, 50 opposed, and 19 abstaining.
