Guest Dennis Posted April 29, 2011 at 04:18 PM Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 at 04:18 PM Motion made and voted on by six person Board. The vote is 3 - 3, tie vote. Can the Motion be brought up again at the same meeting or must it wait until the next regularly scheduled meeting for reconsideration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the Motion be brought up again at the same meeting or must it wait until the next regularly scheduled meeting for reconsideration?A tie vote means the motion was defeated. It can only be Reconsidered before the meeting is adjourned, and it can't be Renewed (made again) until the next meeting, unless it has been substantially changed so as to become essentially a new question anyway.So, next meeting - the motion can be made again (Renewed) as though it had never been considered at all previously. But it's too late for Reconsideration, which has a specific meaning in parliamentary terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the Motion be brought up again at the same meeting...Yes. A motion to reconsider could be made by someone who'd voted on the prevailing (i.e. voted against it) side.... or must it wait until the next regularly scheduled meeting for reconsideration?At the next meeting that would not be a motion reconsider, as has been noted. At that point anyone could make/renew the motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, take a look RONR (10th ed.), tinted page 47, for those rejected motions to which a motion to Reconsider cannot be applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely did assume, as the OP's question was when it could be reconsidered, not if. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
