Version A final setup - Florida House of Representatives

11.5—Motion to Recess to a Time Certain
A motion to recess to a time certain shall be treated the same as a motion to
adjourn, except that the motion is debatable when no business is before the
House and can be amended as to the time to recess and duration of the recess. It
yields only to a motion to adjourn.
11.6—Motion to Lay on the Table
(a) A motion to lay on the table is not debatable and cannot be
amended; however, before the motion is put to a vote, the first-named sponsor
of a bill or the mover of a debatable motion shall be allowed 5 minutes within
which to discuss the same and may divide the time with, or waive this right in
favor of, some other member.
(b) A motion to lay an amendment on the table, if adopted, does not
carry with it the measure to which it adheres.
11.7—Motion to Reconsider; Immediate Certification of Bills
(a) When a motion or main question has been made and carried or lost,
it shall be in order at any time as a matter of right on the same or succeeding
legislative day for a member voting with the prevailing side, or for any member
in the case of a voice or tie vote, to move for reconsideration thereof.
(b) When a majority of members vote in the affirmative but the
proposition is lost because it is one in which the concurrence of a greater
number than a majority is necessary for adoption or passage, any member may
move for a reconsideration.
(c) The motion to reconsider shall require a majority vote for adoption.
(d) If the House refuses to reconsider or upon reconsideration confirms
its prior decision, no further motion to reconsider shall be in order except upon
unanimous consent of the members present.
(e) Debate shall be allowed on a motion to reconsider only when the
question that it is proposing to reconsider is debatable. When debate upon a
motion to reconsider is in order, no member shall speak thereon more than once
or for more than 5 minutes.
(f) The adoption of a motion to reconsider a vote upon any secondary
matter shall not remove the main subject under consideration from
consideration of the House.
(g) A motion to reconsider a collateral matter must be disposed of at
once during the course of the consideration of the main subject to which it is
related, and such motion shall be out of order after the House has passed to
other business.
