Incidental main motion

Incidental main motion

__NOTOC__Incidental main motion, in parliamentary procedure, is a classification under Robert's rules of order for a group of main motions that are incidental to or related to the business of the assembly, or its past or future action. [cite book |title=Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised | first=Henry M. | last=Robert | edition= 10th ed. |year=2000 | pages= p. 96] In contrast, regluar main motions are motions that introduce new business. Unlike regular main motions, incidental main motions cannot have objection to the consideration of the question applied to them.
