Rules adopted by an organization that are administrative in nature rather than procedural are called what?

• A. Standing Rules
• B. State Statutes
• C. Bylaws
• D. Rules of Order

Answer: (A)

Stand­ing rules cover administrative, day‑to‑day operations of an organization—things like meeting times, officer duties, and the forms used. They govern practical conduct rather than the formal procedure of how meetings are conducted. Bylaws set up the organization’s structure and membership rules, rules of order govern the procedure of meetings, and state statutes are external laws. So, for administrative rules adopted by the organization, standing rules are the best fit.
