re-vote on past motion

[Klamath Kampers]

Our group voted at a regular meeting on a topic, seconded, and 100% vote by the attending membership, My question is: Can the same topic be brought to the floor at a later meeting for another vote to change the content and out come?

[Rob Elsman]

Maybe. There is a motion called Rescind or Amend Something Previously Adopted that might be in order. See RONR (10th ed.), §35, pp. 293ff. But check the details for actions that cannot be rescinded or amended, pp. 297, 298.

In general:

• Whatever is adopted, it may be subject to amendment or subject to rescission.

• Whatever is rejected, it may be moved anew in a future order of business (technically, a new "session".)

Ok, does Rescind or Amend Something Previously Adopted go to the vote of the group?

The same body (group) that originally adopted the motion can usually amend or rescind it. A two-thirds vote will do the trick. Of course if the approved action has already been completed (e.g. the clubhouse has already been painted), it's too late.

[Rob Elsman]

It's a form of a main motion. It requires a second, is debatable and amendable, and requires a majority vote if previous notice has been given; otherwise, it requires a two-thirds vote or a vote of the majority of the entire membership.

OK, thanks for your help, I would explain the reason I am asking these questions but would take a couple of pages and it is sorta petty, so wont bore all of you.

Thanks again.
