The BPOU Resolutions Committee removes resolutions that are redundant (i.e. already in the platform). These resolutions MAY be automatically added to the action agenda at the discretion of each BPOU. They also combine repetitive resolutions. The Committee then categorizes the remaining resolutions into legislative “action agenda” items or “platform” items. Resolutions are passed at precinct caucuses and are forwarded to the BPOU Resolutions Committee BPOU delegates vote on the resolutions as either “action agenda” or “platform.” Passed resolutions are forwarded to the CD Resolutions Committee The CD Resolutions Committee combines repetitive resolutions from different BPOUs and notes their category as either “action agenda” or “platform.” If a conflict exists or no category was indicated, the CD Resolutions Committee makes a recommendation. Otherwise the resolutions categorized and voted on at the BPOU conventions will stay in the same category throughout the process. CD delegates vote on resolutions as previously categorized. Action agenda items already in platform may be added automatically. Passed resolutions are forwarded to the State Resolutions Committee The process described for the CD conventions will occur on the state level.
