The 2016 Council on Legislation may well be remembered as one of the most progressive in Rotary history. Here are some of the highlights of new legislation approved:

- an increase in per capita dues of $4 a year for three years. The increase will be used to enhance Rotary’s website, improve online tools, and add programs and services to help clubs increase membership.

- clubs can decide to vary their meeting times, whether to meet online or in person, and when to cancel a meeting, as long as they meet at least twice a month.

- clubs have more flexibility in choosing their membership rules and requirements. A member simply has to be a person of good character who has a good reputation in their business or community and is willing to serve the community.

- admission fees are optional for clubs.

- Rotaractors may be Rotarians at the same time.
