ar73(4)(c) (c) If a motion to reconsider a decision on any amendment prevails, the final decision on the proposal at the end of the 2nd reading stage must also be reconsidered, returning the proposal to the amendable stage. If the engrossed proposal consists of a substitute amendment, with or without adopted amendments, both the vote to engross and the vote to adopt the substitute amendment must be reconsidered to return the proposal to the amendable stage.

ar73(5) (5) The decision on any motion to reconsider is final and may not be reconsidered, but motions to reconsider subsequent decisions on the same proposal, at the same or a later stage, are in order if otherwise permitted under this rule.

ar73(6) (6) Once a motion to reconsider is entered, it may be withdrawn only by the member who made the motion and only before the expiration of the time for making the motion unless thereafter authorized by the assembly.

ar73(7) (7) A motion to reconsider is only debatable when the question to which it relates is debatable. In any such debate, a member may not speak more than once or for more than 3 minutes.

ar73(8) (8) The adoption by both houses of a joint resolution returning a proposal to the assembly for further action returns the proposal to the stage specified in the resolution. The adoption of a motion for reconsideration is not required to reach that stage.

ar73(10) (10) The entering of a motion for reconsideration does not impair the effectiveness of any adopted resolution relating to the officers, members, procedures, or organization of the assembly.
