Reconsideration of the vote by which a bill passed the House, or any proposition requiring a vote in excess of a majority of Members elected and serving for adoption, shall require a majority of the Members elected and serving. The motion to reconsider shall not be renewed the same day. A motion to reconsider any question shall not be subject to any subsidiary motion except to postpone for the day. The question of passing a bill the objections of the Governor notwithstanding shall not be reconsidered more than twice.

Notice of Reconsideration.

            Rule 64. A notice of intention to move for a reconsideration of any bill THAT IS STILL IN THE POSSESSION OF THE HOUSE may be given by any member FROM THE FLOOR OR IN WRITING TO THE CLERK, with the support of 1/3 of the members elected and serving, which shall be immediately announced by the Clerk, spread upon the House Journal, and the bill shall be retained by the Clerk of the House until after the time expires during which under Rule 63 the motion can be made, either by the Member serving such notice or by any other Member. Notice of intention shall not be in order on the day preceding a recess of one week or more, unless supported by two-fifths of the Members shown to be present by the House Journal entries, or at a time which would prevent passage of the bill. No other Members may move for reconsideration on the same day that notice of intention to move for a reconsideration is given.".
