Text

(a) The principal office of any domestic society shall be
located in this state. The meetings of its supreme governing
body may be held in any state, district, province or territory
in which the society has at least five (5) subordinate lodges.
All business transacted at those meetings shall be as valid in
all respects as if the meetings were held in this state. The
minutes of the proceedings of the supreme governing body and of
the board of directors shall be in the English language.
(b) A society may provide in its laws for an official
publication in which any notice, report or statement required by
law to be given to members, including notice of election, may be
published. These required reports, notices and statements shall
be printed conspicuously in the publication. If the records of
a society show that two (2) or more members have the same
mailing address, an official publication mailed to one (1)
member is deemed to be mailed to all members at the same address
unless a member requests a separate copy.
(c) Not later than June 1 of each year, a synopsis of the
society's annual statement providing an explanation of the facts
concerning the condition of the society thereby disclosed shall
be printed and mailed to each benefit member of the society or,
in lieu thereof, the synopsis may be published in the society's
official publication.
(d) A society may provide in its laws or rules for
grievance or complaint procedures for members.
