Motions as Standing Rules

[DEBORAH KNOUS]

Good Day-

Does a motion seconded and passed stand until the subject is no longer current (approved date/time of an event) or another motion to rescind the original motion is passed? 

Should these motions be considered standing rules although they are not published as "Official Standing Rules"?

Thank you,

Yes.

A main motion certainly could be in the nature of a standing rule even although it is not specifically identified as such.

It should be evident from the contents of the motion itself whether or not it is intended to have lasting application, or to be a one-shot decision.  If the wording is such that it would continue to apply to future situations, then it would essentially be a standing rule (unless it is a Special Rule of Order) whether or not it is published as "Official", but publishing it would be strongly advised.

Special Rules of Order, which have lasting effect on the conduct of business in meetings are similarly durable, but they carry additional notice and threshold requirements for adoption.
