The MFTHBA Rule Book is updated annually, as needed. Proposed changes to the Rule Book must be submitted in writing to the Board of Directors. This written statement must include details on what rule change is requested along with a statement of the benefit to the members of the MFTHBA. This form may be used to submit requested rule changes. Proposed changes are requested by August 1. This will ensure adequate time for consideration by the Board and, if approved by the Board for further consideration, adequate time for review by MFTHBA members. **Any rule adopted, changed or revoked will become effective the following January1, with the exception of a safety or legal issue which requires being enacted immediately.**
