Guest Marc Posted June 7, 2019 at 03:11 PM Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 at 03:11 PM If a motion (to make a donation in this case) was made and seconded, discussed, and defeated by vote in a previous meeting and is brought up without any changes at a subsequent meeting, can a simple majority pass the motion?

Bruce Lages Posted June 7, 2019 at 03:16 PM Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 at 03:16 PM Yes, and the motion can be brought up at additional (subsequent) meetings if it continues to be defeated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Geiger Posted June 7, 2019 at 05:02 PM Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 at 05:02 PM I presume the group could adopt a special rule of order to prohibit the motion being brought up again, if it so chose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Such a special rule of order would require a 2/3 vote with notice or a vote of a majority of the entire membership for adoption. If adopted, a member would need to first move to Suspend the Rules in order to bring up the motion in question, which would require a 2/3 vote and would not be debatable.
