§ 2-33. Reconsideration of motions or questions.

(a)

When a motion or question has been decided, it shall always be in order for any member of the board who voted on the prevailing side to move for reconsideration at the same or next succeeding meeting of the board. If a motion to reconsider is made at the same or succeeding meeting, then a simple majority of the board members may decide whether a motion or question is to be reconsidered.

(b)

A motion to reconsider any motion or question shall not be heard if it is not made at the same or succeeding meeting at which the original motion or question was proposed.

(c)

If a motion or question is raised which had previously been decided by the board during the same term, but not at the same or at the succeeding meeting, then the board, in order to consider the motion or question, must first vote to suspend the rules (as set forth in section 2-32) to allow the question or motion to be brought before it.

(d)

If the board votes to suspend the rules to consider a question or motion once, the board shall not vote to suspend the rules to consider the question or motion again until the beginning of a new term.
