2025 Council on Legislation

Rotarians from all over the world met in Chicago, Illinois, USA, on 13-17 April to vote on proposed changes to the legislation that governs Rotary clubs. The representatives considered 78 proposals, such as:

  • Increasing the dues that all members pay to Rotary International
  • Allowing clubs to charter with as few as 15 members
  • Allowing districts the option not to hold a district conference
  • Allowing more governance model pilots beyond those being tested in districts in RIBI, New Zealand, and Australia

The Council meets every three years. Afterward, the general secretary issues a report on the actions taken by the Council. Clubs will have at least two months after the report is sent to submit their opposition. The council’s adoption of legislation is suspended if the measure receives opposition from clubs representing at least 5% of the votes all clubs are entitled to cast.
