subsidiary motion

Subsidiary motions, which affect the main motion being considered.

Main motions can be changed or affected by a variety of subsidiary motions.

According to Mason's Manual, matter passed on in this way remains subject to subsidiary motion.

Commit or Refer-to send the main motion and any pending subsidiary motions to a committee for consideration.

Robert's Rules of Order recognizes seven subsidiary motions.

Unlike the privileged and subsidiary motions, incidental motions have no order of precedence among themselves.

It ranks as the highest subsidiary motion and is not debatable, amendable, or eligible for reconsideration.

As with all subsidiary motions, TSC does not allow this motion to be reconsidered.

Discharge a committee (if the subject was referred by a main motion rather than by the subsidiary motion to commit)

The motion to postpone indefinitely, in parliamentary procedure, is a subsidiary motion used to kill a main motion without taking a direct vote on it.

TSC implements the concept of postponing a motion to a certain time as a subsidiary motion of the same name.

Members bring business before the assembly by introducing main motions, or dispose of this business through subsidiary motions and incidental motions.

Each subsidiary motion ranks higher than the main motion and lower than the privileged motions, and also yields to applicable incidental motions.

Generally speaking, Demeter's allows all motions to be tabled except subsidiary motions, privileged motions, appeals of any kind, and motions concerning nominations or polls.

Some of the subsidiary motions may also be applied to certain other subsidiary motions, incidental motions and privileged motions.

Under Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR), the subsidiary motion "to table" does not exist.

Lay on the Table (or Table) - to suspend consideration of the main motion and any pending subsidiary motions to allow for immediate consideration of more urgent business.

Approval of the subsidiary motion to "lay [the topic] on the table" immediately sets aside the pending main motion and all pending subsidiary motions.

A subsidiary motion, in parliamentary procedure, is a type of motion by which a deliberative assembly deals directly with a main motion prior to (or instead of) voting on the main motion itself.

A motion to postpone an action or event that was previously scheduled is distinct from the subsidiary motion to postpone indefinitely, and is a type of the motion to amend something previously adopted.

Under Robert's Rules of Order, the subsidiary motion to table is, properly, used only when it is necessary to suspend consideration of a main motion in order to deal with another matter that has come up unexpectedly and which must be dealt with before the pending motion can be properly addressed.

Under Demeter's Manual, if a motion to postpone definitely specifies a time that falls after the next regular meeting, or after a certain event which will not occur until after the next regular meeting, then it is treated as a motion to postpone indefinitely, which is the lowest-ranking of the subsidiary motions.
