[1] [2] Such a motion is proposed by a party who is dissatisfied with the result of a case.

The motion is made on the House floor, which is debatable for 20 minutes each by the proponent and an opponent of the measure. Two-thirds of the Members present and voting must vote in the affirmative for the rules to be suspended and pass, adopt, or agree to the measure.

Where such a motion is granted, summary judgment will be entered.
