Chris Harrison Posted January 4, 2011 at 05:41 PM Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 at 05:41 PM Is there a statue of limitations on tabled motions? When does a tabled motion become null and void?RONR pp. 290-291 says:A question that has been laid on the table remains there and can be taken from the table during the same session, or, if the next regular business session will be held before a quarterly time interval has elapsed (see p. 88), also at the next session after it was laid on the table. If not taken from the table within these time limits, the question dies, although it can be reintroduced later as a new question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Novosielski Posted January 5, 2011 at 01:25 AM Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 at 01:25 AM Is there a statue of limitations on tabled motions? When does a tabled motion become null and void? The purpose of the motion to Lay on the Table is to enable an assembly, by majority vote and without debate, to lay a pending question aside temporarily in order to take up something else of immediate urgency. In ordinary societies it is rarely needed, and hence seldom in order. [RONR (10th ed.), p. 201-210; see also p. 127 of RONR In Brief.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
