What do you mean by "submitted"? What kind of rule are you wanting that has to do with how a report is "submitted"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmtcastle Posted February 2, 2011 at 11:32 PM Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 at 11:32 PM Can a member make a motion on how reports are to be typed and submitted by committees?You mean something like "double-spaced and in a plain brown wrapper"?

Kim Goldsworthy Posted February 2, 2011 at 11:57 PM Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 at 11:57 PM Can a member make a motion on how reports are to be typed and submitted by committees?Yes.A motion like, "... that reports be double spaced, in Courier typeface ..." upon adoption, would be a standing rule.Call it a policy or standard operating procedure, or custom, the parliamentary term is "standing rule".Nothing wrong with that.
