A motion to question the competence of a committee to discuss a resolution or amendment must be made immediately before the committee begins debate on said resolution or amendment. After the last speaker has concluded, the question shall be immediately put to a vote, and should a majority of the states present and voting vote to question the committee's competence, the said motion or amendment shall not be considered by the body. The question of competence may not be raised in the plenary session. In committee sessions, a representative may move to amend any substantive motion. The Presiding Office may limit the number of amendments on any substantive motion or may recommend that proponents of various amendments caucus for the purpose of consolidation.
Tertiary amendments are in order.
Each motion of amendment shall have precedence just before the motion it amends. Permission to speak and time allotments shall be determined by the Presiding Officer. After the last speaker has concluded, the said amendment shall be immediately put to a vote. The amendment shall be approved if a majority of the states present and voting concur. All amendments must be submitted to the Presiding Office before debate is closed on the original motion.
