Guest Jay Posted July 13, 2012 at 08:07 PM Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 at 08:07 PM A motion at one meeting on a specific topic is voted on and voted down. Can another motion be made a month later at the next meeting on the same topic just worded differently from the first motion?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted July 13, 2012 at 08:20 PM Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 at 08:20 PM Yes, and it need not be "worded differently". Identical is a proper renewal of the (defeated) motion.And the meeting after that...and... until the proponent wins the vote, or gives up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pat Posted July 21, 2012 at 10:18 PM Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 at 10:18 PM If a motion is passed by a majority at one meeting and new information is uncovered by further investigation how can original motion be changed? Do we have to have motion to 'delete' previous motion and then vote on new motion with new information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we have to have motion to 'delete' previous motion and then vote on new motion with new information.A main motion that has been adopted can be Rescinded or Amended, provided that it's not too late. See RONR (11th ed.), Section 35. See also Section 37 to determine if the motion to Reconsider would apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
