must action on motion seconded be voted upon?

[Guest frost]

A motion has been seconded but chair let an unrelated question interrupt the discussion and the motion was never acted upon. what happens to the original motion?

[George Mervosh]

If the motion was actually pending when the meeting adjourned and your next meeting will be held within a quarterly time interval (pp. 89-90), the motion will be the first item of unfinished business at the next meeting.  If it wasn't pending when the meeting adjourned and it just got passed over for other business, or the next meeting won't be held within a quarterly time interval, the motion will need to be made again if so desired.
