SCANZ constitution
Amendments to constitution - SGM - Sunday 18 January 2026 - passed unanimously
IRD requested we make some changes to our constitution to maintain our income tax deduction.
They requested that we remove one clause:
- 1.6.3
- "But SCANZ will not operate for the financial gain of members simply if SCANZ -
d. provides benefits to members or their families to alleviate hardship,"
IRD also requested that we re-add:
"No addition to, deletion from or alteration of the organisation’s rules shall be made which would allow personal financial gain to any individuals. The provisions and effect of this clause shall not be removed from this document and shall be included and implied into any document replacing this document." This was added as 11.1.2 and subsequent rules renumbered.
Updated 2025
SCANZ was required to update its rules of incorporation to bring them into line with the new legislation for incorporated societies.
The Act provided for us to entirely replace our rules with a new constitution in this situation, allowing us to remove entrenched clauses, that we otherwise couldn't change.
The Companies Office very helpfully produced a Constitution Builder to assist societies in creating compliant constitutions, and this was used to create this new constitution.
Information that was still relevant and lawful from our previous rules was included in this new constitution, but we had to make some changes to become compliant with the new legislation. You can see where all the changes have come from here
