Section 3. No person entitled to a service pension or ancillary benefits from the special fund of a relief association may assign any service pension or ancillary benefit payments, nor shall the Association have the authority to recognize any assignment or pay over any sum which has been assigned. ARTICLE XVII Unclaimed Benefits Section 1. Unclaimed Benefits. In the event that the Association has made a reasonable effort to locate a member or a survivor of a member entitled to payment or distribution under these bylaws or by State law, and was unable to do so, the benefit distributable to such member or survivor of such member will be forfeited and will be credited to the Special Fund. Efforts to locate a member or survivor must be documented. Forfeiture will occur no earlier than thirty-six (36) months after the Board concludes the Association is unable to locate such member or survivor despite reasonable efforts to locate them. Article XIII Amendments Section 1. General Rule. These bylaws may be amended, altered or repealed by a two-thirds vote of the active members present at an annual or special meeting, provided that written notice of intent to amend, alter, or repeal the bylaws has been given to each Active Member or mailed to each Active Member at their last known address at least 30, but no more than 45 days prior to the date set for such a meeting. Amendments to the Bylaws shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 317A.181 and 424A.016, subd. 8 as amended. Section 2. Suspension of General Rule. The general rule requiring posting of amendments at least thirty (30) days prior to the date set for voting on the amendments may be suspended or modified on a prospective basis by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the members present at an annual meeting or special meeting with respect to specific amendments under consideration by the Association. Any action taken by the members under this Section 2 shall expressly describe the scope of any amendments covered by such action and the manner in which any notice of the amendments shall be given to Active Members prior to the meeting at which they will be considered. This provision shall be effective immediately upon its approval by a two thirds (2/3) vote of the Active Members present at an annual or special meeting. The Association will file a revised copy of these bylaws with the Office of the State Auditor upon the adoption of any such amendments. 20 Effective Date:{DATE}
