Section 4. Any section may within its area of responsibility express its opinion on any legislative matter before the United States Congress or the General Assembly of Maryland, provided that it is clearly stated as the opinion of the section only, and is not in conflict with the position of the Association. Such expression of opinion may be superseded at any time by action of the membership or the Board of Governors. A section shall advise the Board of Governors, in writing, of its intention to express an opinion and of its position prior to the expression of such opinion, unless time constraints make this impracticable.
