  2. Rule 6. Proceedings

§ 9. Reconsideration. a. When a question has once been put and

decided, it shall be in order for any Senator to move for the

reconsideration thereof; but no motion for the reconsideration of any

vote shall be in order after the bill, resolution, message, report,

amendment, nomination or motion, upon which the vote was taken, shall

have gone out of the possession of the Senate; nor shall any motion for

reconsideration be in order unless made on the same day on which the

vote was taken, or within the next three days of the actual session of

the Senate thereafter. Nor shall any question be reconsidered more than

once; but when a bill or resolution shall have been recalled from the

Assembly, a motion for reconsideration may be made at any time

thereafter while the same is in the possession of the Senate, and all

resolutions recalling a bill or resolution from the Assembly shall be

regarded as privileged. No vote shall be reconsidered upon either of the

following motions:

To adjourn.

To lay on the table.

b. The vote on the final passage of any bill appropriating moneys or

property, or creating, continuing, altering or removing any body politic

or corporate, shall not be reconsidered whenever any such bill shall be

lost, unless by a vote of a majority of all the Senators elected, but

all other bills, when the same shall have been lost, may be reconsidered

by a vote of a majority of all the Senators present and voting.
