A. Procedures
These Guidelines may be amended by the Samaritan Ministries Board of Directors. The Board has the option of first taking an advisory vote of the members.
B. Effective Date
Amendments to the Guidelines will go into effect as soon as administratively practical or as designated by the Board. If you have a need which began before the change was adopted, the sharing of bills related to that need will be determined by the Guidelines as they existed on the date the bills were incurred. However, bills related to a member’s need that would have been shareable under the Guidelines in effect when a need began, will remain shareable regardless of subsequent Guideline changes.
C. Notice of Amendments
Members will be notified of changes to the Guidelines in the monthly newsletter, through postings on the ministry website, or by provision of updated Guidelines booklets when they are notified that their Membership Continuation Form is coming due.
