The motion to Take from the Table is used to do what?

• A. Bring back a previously tabled item for consideration
• B. Delay action to the next meeting
• C. Refer to a committee
• D. Postpone indefinitely

Answer: (A)

Taking from the table restores a matter that was set aside by being laid on the table, so you can resume discussion and possibly action on it. When something is laid on the table, the assembly temporarily pauses consideration to handle more urgent business. The motion to take from the table brings that paused item back to the floor, allowing it to be debated again and brought to a vote. It isn’t about delaying to another meeting or referring the item to a committee; those actions involve different motions and purposes.
