parkourninja Posted June 4, 2017 at 01:35 AM Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 at 01:35 AM If a motion is postponed as a general order to the next regular meeting without a date specified, my understanding is that it would come before the assembly under unfinished business. Now, RONR specifies that new business should be considered before a general order that is set for a certain time. Does that mean if a member wanted to make a main motion and bring new business before the assembly, they could do that and override a general order set without a date even though unfinished business comes before new business? How would that be worded if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at page 368 line 4 but that only applies to business that was already pending. If a general order was set without a specified time and the assembly wanted to consider new business before handling the general order, would a member need to suspend the rules to do so?
