§ 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.
