## Rule 15-10 Motion to reconsider

Balt., Md., Council Rules r. 15-10 (2026)

(a) When in order. After a question has been decided, a motion to reconsider is in order if:

  (1) the bill, resolution, motion, or other matter on which the vote was taken is still in the possession of the City Council; and

  (2) the motion is made:

    (i) on the same day on which the original vote was taken; or

    (ii) at the next succeeding regular meeting of the City Council.

(b) Who may make.

  (1) Except as otherwise provided in this rule, a motion to reconsider may be made only by a Councilmember who voted with the prevailing side on the original vote.

  (2) If a bill on final passage receives 8 votes but fails because a higher number of votes was needed, a motion to reconsider may be made by any Councilmember.

(c) Re-reconsideration. The vote on a motion to reconsider may not itself be reconsidered.
