+2015-107, 2022-115, 2023-34) 
+ 
+100.1 
+All Student Body Laws of permanent effect and general public interest, or of legal 
+or historical significance, shall be compiled in a codification known as Student 
+Body Statutes. This codification shall include the constitution in its entirety and all 
+by-laws of the Student Senate. Except in unusual circumstances, this codification 
+shall 
+exclude 
+non-governmental 
+organizational 
+charters, 
+authorizations, 
+resolutions, proposed constitutional amendments, the Budget and amendments 
+thereto, and contracts of limited duration.  
+ 
+100.2 
+The Student Body Statutes shall be arranged by subject matter within eight (8) 
+titles, each composed of a number or numerically-designated chapters, according 
+to the following scheme:  
+ 
+                        Title I              (Ch. 100-199)   
+    Administrative-General  
+                        Title II             (Ch. 200-299)                 The Executive  
+                        Title III            (Ch. 300-399)                 The Legislative  
+                        Title IV            (Ch. 400-499)                 The Judiciary  
+                        Title V             (Ch. 500-599)                 Governmental Boards, Commissions,  
+                                                                                        Subsidiary Organizations  
+                        Title VI            (Ch. 600-699)                 Awards, Honors, and Memorials  
+                        Title VII           (Ch. 700-799)                 Elections  
+                        Title VIII          (Ch. 800-899)                 Finance  
+100.21 
+ Each Title shall include a Statute Cover Page(s) that will include the Title number 
+and name, chapters it encompasses, and a table of contents to only include the 
+chapters of each Title, presented in ascending numerical order from top to bottom. 
+100.211 
+LEGISLATIVE INTENT: The creation of Statute Cover Pages for each chapter 
+shall not be authorized for the purposes of creating any policy, regulation, rule, 
+law, or item that is enforced by law. However, these Statute Cover Pages shall be 
+utilized for the purpose of clerical work to provide legislative efficiency and 
+increased accessibility for constituents and stakeholders interested in reading the 
+Student Body Statutes.  
+100.212 
+The Senate Secretaries shall have the authority to make any clerical changes to the 
+Statute Cover Pages in the case that any legislation may make alterations to the 
+chapter order, name, and presence within each Title. 
+100.3 
+Each chapter shall be subdivided by means of a decimal arrangement carried out to 
+two or three decimal places. The first decimal place shall represent a chapter’s 
+section. The second decimal place shall represent a section’s subsection. If use, the 
+third decimal place shall represent a subsection’s subsection. For example  
+ 
+Chapter 152 would begin with 152.000 with potential subsection 152.01 and 
+potential sub-subsection 152.011. Subsections shall relate back to the previous 
+section. Sub-subsections shall relate back to the previous subsection.  
+ 
+100.4 
+The Student Senate Judiciary Committee shall further classify laws according to 
+Section 100.2 to provide a logical, orderly, and comprehensive arrangement of the 
+Student Body Statutes by subject matter. Such classification shall be made prior to 
+debate on a proposed statute in the Student Senate.  
+ 
+100.41 
+The Senate Secretary has the authority to make corrections only to spelling and 
+non-punctuation typographical errors.

+which shall contain the budget law for the current fiscal year, all amendments 
+thereto including fund transfers, allocations from the Special Requests, Title VIII, 
+Student Body Statutes (the Finance Law), and the Finance Manual as promulgated 
+by the Treasurer's Office. The Amended Student Body Budget shall be arranged as

+ 
+fiscal year.

+of the amended Student Body Budget. Both books shall be kept in the Student 
+Senate office except by the specific order of the Senate President. The Senate 
+Secretary is responsible for continuous maintenance of both books such that at any 
+given time they reflect all legislation enacted as of that time. Legislation shall be 
+considered enacted when all Student Government action on it is completed. There 
+shall be a presumption of approval by the University Administration until a specific 
+veto is received therefrom by the Senate President.  
+ 
+100.7 
+Prior to February 15 of each year, the Student Senate Secretary shall see that the 
+Student Body Statutes, as they stood on the previous January 1st, are copied in 
+quantities sufficient to supply all interested members of the academic community. 
+A copy shall be retained for any necessary subsequent copying during the year. 
+These publications shall be titled by the year of publication, e.g., Student Body 
+Statutes, 1974 shall reflect the statutes as of January 1, 1974.  
+ 
+100.71  
+The Senate Secretary, or the Senate President’s designee, shall be responsible for 
+the distribution of the Student Body Statutes, Senate Rules and Procedures, and the 
+Guide to the Statutes. Distribution of these documents shall be recorded.

+term, the Student Senate Secretary shall prepare a supplement containing all 
+statutory amendments enacted during that term and may provide said supplement 
+to the offices described above.  
+ 
+100.74

+Guide to the Statutes shall be made available to each newly elected Student Senator 
+and each newly appointed Student Senator prior to their first Student Senate 
+meeting.

+Senate aware of any approved requests within seventy-two (72) hours.

+the members of the Student Senate present and voting at a regular meeting.

+810.2 
+Student Organizations will receive funding on a first come first serve basis as determined

+determined based on the average total expenditures for all SG Funded Student

+Student Government Finance Office to contact the active members shown on the 
+list by email to verify membership status.

+Involvement, they will no longer be eligible for funding and will forfeit any 
+operational budget they received for that fiscal year.  
+10. All expenditures shall be in accordance with the University of Florida Finance

+CHAPTER 823 CHARITABLE DONATIONS (2012-108, 2015-115) 
+ 
+823.10 
+Student Government makes payments on behalf of student organizations to 
+charitable entities. In order to discharge this agency function in a responsible 
+manner, the following guidelines are to be applied: 
+1. Charitable donation must go directly to the charitable organization, which 
+must have 501(c) 3 statutes from the Internal Revenue Service. Charitable 
+donations/payments to individuals will not be allowed for the following 
+reasons:  
+a. The funds become taxable income when paid to the individual, 
+as it is tied to their social security number. UF is not a 
+charitable entity and payment from UF does not mitigate the 
+tax situation. Accordingly, the funds are no longer a charitable 
+donation when dispensed to the individual and that individual 
+would receive the benefit of making the charitable donation, 
+not the student organization giving it. 
+b. UF has no established criteria or basis for making the decision 
+with regards to which individuals should receive charitable 
+donations.  
+c. UF does not have an established decision making process 
+based on specified criteria/requirement to make a payment to 
+an individual and the decision would be an arbitrary one. 
+Accordingly, that decision would not follow guidelines of good 
+practice with financial records as required by UF Finance and 
+Accounting and would be subject to challenge to the payment 
+by members within the group that raised the funds.  
+d. Finally, UF is at risk if the payments are later determined to be 
+inappropriate or in violation of our IRS status as an educational 
+institution.  
+2. Payments to charitable organizations must meet the following criteria;  
+a. The recipient organization has been established for at least 
+three (3) years; and  
+b. The recipient organization is listed on Charity Navigator; and  
+c. Not be listed on the Charity Navigator as ―10 Charities in 
+Deep Financial Trouble‖ or ―10 Charities Routinely in the 
+Red.
