When can the board legally adopt new rules?

The board can legally adopt new rules during a properly noticed and quorumed board meeting because this process ensures that all members are informed and have the opportunity to participate in the decision-making. Proper notice means that adequate time and information are provided to all members before the meeting, promoting transparency and accountability. Having a quorum, which is the minimum number of members required to conduct business, is vital for validating the meeting and any decisions made during it, including rule adoption. This formal process distinguishes legitimate board actions from informal discussions or gatherings, ensuring that rules are established through proper governance practices.
