request for permission to modify a motion

A motion by which the mover seeks an amendment to his or her own motion after the chair has stated the motion.

• The mover controls a motion only until the chair states the question. After that, the motion belongs to the assembly and the mover cannot modify it without the assembly’s permission. See friendly amendment under AMENDMENT(3).

— Also termed request for leave to modify a motion.
