At a recent meeting a motion was made to amend one section of our By-Laws for which a Notice of Motion had been sent previously.  The motion was denied.  However, at the time, it seemed evident that some of the information (data / stats) presented by a couple members (voting "against" the motion) was incorrect (not factual) and  misleading and that it likely influenced how members voted.   

 

Since then, strong evidence came forth that the information was indeed false and grossly exaggerated.  What action, if any, can now be taken?

Renew the motion for the bylaw amendment.  That means, in essence, proposing the bylaw amendment all over again and going through the entire process again of giving notice, etc, just as if it had never been proposed before.

 

It is too late to use the motion  to reconsider.  That could have been used at the same session at which the amendment was rejected, but once that session (meeting) ended, it is too late to use that motion.

 

You can also consider disciplinary action against the members who provided the false information if you believe they intentionally misled the organization and that it is worth making a big deal out of it.  In my experience, it's usually best to just move on.
