21  possession of the house, but may be withdrawn by leave
22  of the house.
23	Rule 72
24	Referral and Rereferral
25     Motions and reports may be referred and rereferred

27	Rule 73
28	 Reconsideration
29     a.  A motion to reconsider may be made only by a
30  member who voted on the prevailing side of the

    Page 36

 1  question sought to be reconsidered.
 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
 5  manager voted on the prevailing side, he or she the
 6  floor manager has the prior right to make the motion,
 7  until adjournment on the day of the action sought to
 8  be reconsidered.  A motion to reconsider a

10  than adjournment on the legislative day following the
11  day of the action sought to be reconsidered.
12     c.  A motion to reconsider made following the one
13  hundred fourth calendar day of the first regular
14  session, or the ninety-fourth calendar day of the
15  second regular session, shall be taken up when made.
16  A motion made at any other time may be taken up prior
17  to the third day succeeding the day of the action
18  sought to be reconsidered only if called up by the
19  mover, and after the second day succeeding the day of
20  the action sought to be reconsidered if called up by
21  any member.
22     d.  The making of a motion to reconsider takes
23  precedence over all other questions.
24     e.  No motion to reconsider passage, adoption or
25  failure of any bill, nullification resolution or joint
26  resolution shall prevail unless it obtains a
27  constitutional majority.  When passage, adoption or
28  failure is reconsidered, questions on amendments may
29  also be reconsidered and shall be disposed of
30  immediately.

    Page 37

 1     f.  A motion that the motion to reconsider be laid
 2  on the table is in order.  The effect of laying the
 3  motion to reconsider on the table is to cause the bill
 4  or joint resolution to proceed on its regular course
 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
 9  general assembly adjourns sine die, and the motion to
10  reconsider has not been voted upon by the house, the
11  motion shall be determined to have failed.

19  call of the house, a quorum call or a roll call vote
20  on any question.  If the electrical voting machine is
21  not in operating order when it is necessary to take a

24  alphabetical order, except the name of the presiding
25  officer shall be called last.

14  particular amendments.  The motion requires an
15  affirmative vote of at least a constitutional majority
16  of the members.  If the motion for a previous question
17  is not adopted, the house shall proceed in the same
18  manner as before the motion was made.
19     If the motion is adopted, all debate must end and
20  the house will vote upon the question except:

the

    Page 41

 2  The request must be filed before the motion is made by
 3  the movant.  The request allows a member to speak on a
 4  particular question before the closing discussion by
 5  the member who is in charge of the measure or who is
 6  proposing the amendment.
 7                             	Rule 82
 8                 	Division of the Question
 9     Any member may call for a division of the question,
10  which shall be divided if it comprehends questions so
11  distinct that one being taken away, the remainder may
12  stand separately for discussion by the house.  A
13  motion to strike out being lost shall not preclude
14  either an amendment or a motion to strike out and
15  insert.  A motion to strike out and insert shall be
16  deemed indivisible.
