Guest Chang Posted January 28, 2019 at 02:55 AM Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 at 02:55 AM Is there a motion to extend time? The situation is this... on our regular monthly meeting, we schedule from 1:00-3:00pm. When time is up, someone motion to extend time until 3:30 pm. Is there such a motion like that at all?

See the following language on page 370: "It should be noted that a special order does not interfere with a recess or adjournment that is scheduled for a particular hour. When such an hour arrives, the chair announces it and declares the assembly in recess or adjourned, even if a special order is pending that was made before the hour of recess or adjournment was fixed. When the chair announces the hour, anyone can move to postpone the time for adjournment, or to extend the time of considering the pending question for a specified period. These motions are undebatable and require a two-thirds vote (see also pp. 232, 240–41)." (Emphasis added). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
