All 49 motions were passed at GAA Special Congress.
Broken down into 18 voting categories, the motions were carried with overwhelming majorities.
In October, The Football Review Committee chaired by former Dublin manager Jim Gavin, launched an interim report.
The FRC recommended seven core rule enhancements which were trialled in the Allianz GAA Football Inter-Provincial Series.
GAA’s Central Council subsequently met to review the FRC Interim Report/Rule proposals.
At the end of the Special Congress, GAA President Jarlath Burns acknowledged the work carried out by the FRC.
“This has given a resounding mandate for improvements in Gaelic Football,” Uachtarán CLG Burns remarked.
Throughout the morning Gavin stated that this was ‘only the beginning of a process’, and that the FRC was ‘starting rather than finishing a journey’.
The former Dublin manager said: “We’re in this together, it is a team effort. We’d like to acknowledge the leadership in this room.
“The FRC is here to serve you and we will continue our engagement. Ultimately, the ambition is that Gaelic Games will be the most enjoyable amateur games in the world to play and watch.”
