Since its founding in 1948, CTASLA has had a set of bylaws and a constitution that govern how the chapter conducts business. Taken together, they provide guidance on requirements for membership and voting privileges; the election of board members and officers; the prudent management of funds and financial obligations; collection of dues; and responsibilities of chapter committees.

​

With the affirmative vote of membership, these documents may be amended or revised to meet the changing needs of the chapter. As of 2019, there have been several amendments approved:

​
