 2     b.  A motion to reconsider may be made not later
 3  than adjournment on the day following the day of the
 4  action sought to be reconsidered.  Where the floor

20  the action sought to be reconsidered if called up by
21  any member.
22     d.  The making of a motion to reconsider takes

 5  immediately.
 6     g.  In the event that a motion to reconsider is
 7  pending at the end of the first session or any
 8  extraordinary session of any general assembly, or the

10  reconsider has not been voted upon by the house, the
11  motion shall be determined to have failed.
