hmtcastle Posted May 10, 2011 at 06:16 PM Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 at 06:16 PM If a secondary motion is made to ratify the actions of a committee, does that motion need a second?Most motions require a second. But why do you think a motion to ratify the (presumably unauthorized) actions of a committee is a secondary motion?Are you, instead, referring to a motion that arises from the report of a committee? In that case, no second is required if the committee consists of more than one member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what's "secondary" about it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
