Which motion is used to bring back a motion that has been laid aside by the table?

• A. Reconsider
• B. Amend Something Previously Adopted
• C. Rescind
• D. Take from the Table

Answer: (D)

When a motion is laid on the table, the group is putting that business aside to deal with something else. The motion used to revive it and bring it back into consideration is Take from the Table. This motion is specifically designed to reverse the table action and restore the tabled matter to the floor for debate and a decision, typically with a second and a majority vote. Other motions address different situations: Reconsider is about revisiting a decision that has already been made, Amend Something Previously Adopted changes the wording of something already adopted, and Rescind cancels a motion that has already been acted on. None of those directly revive a tabled item, so Take from the Table is the correct approach.
