R. Con. Bar Mich. 14
Twenty-five or more active members of the State Bar may file a written petition with the secretary at the principal office of the State Bar no later than 90 days before the annual meeting of the State Bar, to require the convening of a congress of the active members of the State Bar in conjunction with the annual meeting to consider the subject matter raised in the petition. One hundred active members constitute a quorum. The president is the presiding officer of the congress and the secretary is the secretary of the congress.
The congress shall consider all matters proposed for inclusion on its agenda in the petition requesting its convening. The congress may take action on the matters arising on its agenda that it deems warranted. The action is advisory only and must be communicated to the Board of Commissioners and to the Representative Assembly, but the congress may by a two-thirds vote place an issue on the agenda of the board or assembly. If an issue so initiated is first considered by the board, the board shall notify the assembly of its action, and the assembly shall concur with, modify, or reverse the board's action.
