What can happen if a motion is declared out of order?

When a motion is declared out of order, it signifies that the motion does not conform to the rules or procedures established for conducting meetings. Declaring a motion out of order effectively prevents it from being considered further during that meeting. This ensures that the discussion remains focused and follows the proper protocols defined by parliamentary procedure.

Since the motion is not eligible for consideration, the members present cannot engage in discussion or debate about it, thus leaving no opportunity to revisit it in its original format until it can be properly resubmitted or addressed in a future meeting. The rules of parliamentary procedure are designed to maintain order and clarity in meetings, and declaring a motion out of order is a key mechanism for achieving that.
