FINAL* REPORT OF THE MOTIONS COMMITTEE ON CERTIFIED AMENDING MOTIONS FOR PRESENTATION AT THE 2012 ASSOCIATION TECHNICAL MEETING JUNE 13-14, 2012 LAS VEGAS, NEVADA I. Introduction. This is the second and Final* Report of the s Committee listing Certified s that may be presented at the 2012 Association Technical Meeting in Las Vegas, NV on June 13-14, 2012. This Final* Report incorporates the first Report of the NFPA s Committee on Fall 2011 Revision Cycle Documents dated November 18, 2011 and the Report of the Annual 2012 Revision Cycle Documents. The s Committee, consisting of NFPA Standards Council Members J. Pauley (Chair), K. Bell, J. Harrington, D. McDaniel, J. Milke, R. Owen and R. Farr (Fall 2011 s Committee), has been appointed by the Chair of the Standards Council to certify proper amending motions and otherwise review and act, in accordance with 2.1 through 2.7 of the NFPA Technical Meeting Convention Rules (Convention Rules), on Notices of Intent to Make a (s) that have been submitted on NFPA codes and standards (Documents), that have been processed in the Annual 2012 Revision Cycle. Under NFPA rules, persons wishing to make an allowable amending motion at an NFPA Technical Meeting must declare their intention to do so by filing, within the published deadlines, a setting forth information about the intended motion. The s Committee, in accordance with NFPA rules, reviews each to determine whether the intended motion is a proper motion. The s Committee can also, in consultation with the submitter of the, clarify the intent of, and, if appropriate, restate the motion, and, in certain circumstances, group motions that are dependent on each other together so that they can be made as a single motion. In addition, the s Committee may take such other action or make such other recommendations as will facilitate the fair and efficient consideration of motions within the available time. The s Committee certifies for presentation at the appropriate Association Technical Meeting all proper s, either as submitted or as clarified, restated or grouped, as explained above. The s Committee then publishes a report setting forth, at a minimum, each Certified Amending, the person(s) authorized to make such motions, and the recommended order in which motions should be entertained. In addition, the Report may include s Committee notes or comments aimed at assisting the Presiding Officer or facilitating the understanding of or the orderly and efficient consideration of the motion when presented at the Association Technical Meeting. The Certified s for the Annual 2012 Revision Cycle Documents are set forth in Part II of this Report; Part III summarizes motions that were not certified by the s Committee; Part IV of this Report lists those Consent Documents in the Annual 2012 Revision Cycle that have no Certified s.
