Greg Goodwiller, PRP Posted April 19, 2020 at 11:15 PM Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 at 11:15 PM If the motion was disposed of (either approved or disapproved), someone who voted on the prevailing side (for the motion if it was adopted, against the motion if it was defeated), may move to reconsider. The motion must be seconded and requires a majority vote to "re-open" debate on the motion. And there are other characteristics of the motion - including that in some cases it may be made at one time in the meeting, and taken up at another time. The motion's characteristics are Section 37 in RONR, beginning on page 315. If the necessary requirements are not met, it may be moved to Rescind or Amend Something Previously Adopted, assuming the motion was, in fact, adopted. That is Section 35 in RONR, beginning on page 315. It has a higher voting requirement, but be made by a member regardless of how they voted. If the motion was defeated, unless a motion to Reconsider is adopted, it cannot be taken up again at the same session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
