Place a motion on the floor that has been previously defeated

[Guest Jane Tabb]

A motion was placed on the floor and defeated in a 2-3 vote.  Can this same motion be placed on the floor in the next meeting?

[Joshua Katz]

So long as the next meeting is a new session, which it almost always is, yes.

Yes, it can be renewed at the next meeting.

The answer may be different if this is a legislative body or if the organization has special rules regarding the introduction of similar or identical motions during the same session.

That’s nice,  but people viewing the forum and reading posts on a smartphone do not see the notes appended to a signature. They just don’t show up. It’s as if they don’t exist.

That's interesting, Mr. Brown.

And I am on a regular PC at home and I did not see it either.
