The MML Bylaws serve as the governing documents of the Maryland Municipal League, a 501c4 organization. Text amendments were last adopted in June, 2023. In Title 5-200 Amendments, the bylaws state: Amendments to the current bylaws may be made at the Annual Business Meeting or any general membership meeting by a 2/3 vote of member municipalities. Any proposed amendments will be submitted by the membership according to the procedures established by the Board for that purpose. Written notice of the proposed amendments shall be distributed to the membership at least thirty days prior to the date of the meeting at which they are to be considered. Such amendments will take effect at the conclusion of the convention, conference, or meeting, unless otherwise specified.

Each member municipality represented at the Annual Business Meeting, or a general membership meeting, shall be entitled to one vote on all questions, including any amendment of these Bylaws. The chief elected official will serve as the voting representative unless a member municipality submits proxy in writing to the MML CEO.
