That sentence, in plain words

No one at the group may take part in politics for it. That means the group, its board, and its officers. They may not give cash to a cause. They may not try to sway new law.

What this is about

This rule is about acts done for the group. It does not speak to what a person does on their own time.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
