ar62 Assembly Rule 62. Points of order and appeals.
ar62(1)(1) A member may raise a point of order at any time except while a motion to adjourn is before the assembly.
ar62(2) (2) A member may not speak more than once on any point of order.
ar62(3) (3) The presiding officer may speak on points of order in preference to others and may:
ar62(3)(a) (a) Immediately announce and explain a ruling on a point of order that has been raised; or
ar62(3)(b) (b) Defer such ruling by taking a point of order under advisement.
1. When the point of order concerns a proposal or a question currently pending on such proposal, taking the point of order under advisement removes the proposal from further consideration until the presiding officer announces the ruling on the point of order.
2. When the point of order concerns an amendment, taking the point of order under advisement removes from further consideration until a ruling on the point of order is made only the specific amendment.
3. When the point of order concerns an amendment to an amendment, taking the point of order under advisement removes from further consideration until a ruling on the point of order is made only the amendment to the amendment, except that the original amendment is also removed from further consideration once all other amendments to the amendment have been disposed of.
4. All points of order involving amendments, or amendments to amendments, must be disposed of before the assembly proceeds to any question of lesser precedence (see rule 65).
ar62(3m) (3m) The presiding officer shall rule on a point of order within 7 legislative days after the point of order is raised or on the final legislative day of the last general-business floorperiod preceding the veto review session, whichever is earlier.
ar62(4) (4) A point of order is timely only if raised before the question it concerns is decided.
ar62(5) (5) A point of order questioning the validity of a senate action on a proposal before the assembly is not in order.
ar62(6) (6) Any member may appeal a ruling of the presiding officer on any point of order. When an appeal is made, the question is: “Shall the decision of the chair stand as the decision of the assembly?"
ar62(7) (7) Appeals are debatable and are decided by a majority of the members present and voting on a roll call vote. The presiding officer may vote on appeals.
