Legal Definitions - specific main motion

A specific main motion is a type of motion that is made during a meeting or assembly to propose a specific action or decision. It is different from an incidental main motion, which is made to deal with a procedural issue that arises during the meeting.

For example, if a group is discussing whether to hold a fundraiser, a specific main motion could be made to propose a specific date, location, and type of fundraiser. This motion would need to be seconded and then voted on by the group.

Another example of a specific main motion could be a proposal to change the group's bylaws or rules. This motion would need to be properly worded and presented to the group for discussion and voting.
