Josh Martin Posted July 13, 2011 at 03:08 AM Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 at 03:08 AM When a matter has been voted on and carried at one meeting, how long do you have to wait before it can be brought up for another vote?So far as RONR is concerned, there is no waiting period - a motion to Rescind or to Amend Something Previously Adopted may be made at the very next meeting. Such a motion requires a 2/3 vote, a vote of a majority of the entire membership, or a majority vote with previous notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absent some rather extraordinary circumstances, such a motion, made immediately after the adoption of the motion which it seeks to rescind or amend, will ordinarily be dilatory.

Absent some rather extraordinary circumstances, such a motion, made immediately after the adoption of the motion which it seeks to rescind or amend, will ordinarily be dilatory.Not to mention out of order if the goal can be reached with a motion to Reconsider the motion has been subjected to a motion to Reconsider which hasn't been called up. (And now that I've corrected this sentence, it reads awkwardly, but I will leave this up for whatever the opposite of posterity is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"... the ayes have it. The motion is adopted. A floral gift basket will be sent to Angela Morris at County Creek hospital."MEMBER: Uh, wait, she's not at County Creek. She's at Bates Memorial. (all members nod in agreement)CHAIR: If there is no objection, the motion will be amended to be That a floral gift basket be sent to Angela Morris at Bates Memorial hospital.A motion could be rescinded in the same way, under the right circumstances.
