Declaring motions invalid/out of order

[Guest Zach]

Alright question, 

When a member makes a motion on a point of business in a way that doesn’t follow the organization’s by-laws are we required to point that out and give the member a chance to amend their motion?

[Hieu H. Huynh]

Yes

[Guest Zach]

What if the invalidity of the motion wasn’t discovered during the meeting and not discovered until after?

If a main motion was adopted that conflicts with the bylaws, a point of order can be raised at your next meeting.  RONR (12th ed.), 23:6 a)

If the point of order is well taken and not appealed, or well taken and upheld on appeal, the adopted main motion is null and void.  Another main motion may be made by anyone in a manner that does not conflict with the bylaws.

I agree with the previous responses but would point out that there is a difference between a motion perhaps not following the procedure outlined in the bylaws and a motion which actually conflicts with the bylaws.  Violating the procedure outlined in the bylaws may or may not cause it to be a continuing breach, depending on the circumstances. But if the motion is in direct conflict with the bylaws, it is quite likely null and void.
