What term describes a motion that is renewed after it was disposed of without adoption and then made again?

• A. Reconsider
• B. Repeal
• C. Renewal of a motion
• D. Refer to a Committee/Commit

Answer: (C)

Renewal of a motion is the term for bringing back the same proposal after it has been disposed of without adoption, making it a new question for consideration again. This fits the scenario because a motion that was defeated or not adopted can be reintroduced by moving to renew it, treating it as if it were being considered anew. Reconsideration, by contrast, is used to revisit a decision that was already adopted, not something that was disposed of without adoption. Repeal would undo an action that has already been adopted, and referring to a committee sends the matter to study rather than reintroducing the same motion after defeat. So the correct term for renewing a motion after it was disposed of without adoption is renewal of a motion.
