Legislation may be proposed by a club, a district conference, the general council or the conference of R.I. in Great Britain and Ireland (RIBI), the Board of Directors of R.I., or the Council on Legislation itself. Proposed legislation may be submitted to the Council in the form of enactments or resolutions.

Clubs within District 6060 are encouraged to submit proposed enactments or resolutions using the format described in the Manual Of Procedure 1998, pages 131 & 132. A Rotarian from one of the Columbia, Missouri Rotary Clubs submitted a proposal that was approved at the 1998 Council on Legislation. This now allows Rotarians to "make-up" attendance for missed meeting up to 14 days prior to or following a missed meeting. Before this change, "make-ups" had to be accomplished within 7 days prior to or following the missed meeting. This is just one example of how local Rotarians and Rotary clubs can help Rotary prepare for the next century.

All clubs within our district are asked to submit nominations of qualified candidates to represent our district at the Council. This candidate must be a Rotarian who has served a full term as an officer of R.I. This means the candidate must be a Past District Governor (or is the current governor or governor-elect under special circumstances.) Such candidate shall be a member of a Rotary club in the district represented. An alternate candidate will also be chosen at that time to serve in case the representative cannot attend.
