When a vote has been taken either passing or defeating any proposition or legislation, any assembly member who voted on the prevailing side may move for reconsideration at the same meeting or at the next succeeding meeting whenever motions are in order; provided, that the subject matter has not passed out of the control of the assembly. The term “prevailing side” includes the negative side which has prevailed because the affirmative side has failed to muster the requisite number of votes required for passage of the measure. A motion to reconsider requires a majority of affirmative votes and, if it prevails, the subject shall be open to debate and amendment in the same manner as the original question. Debates on motions to reconsider shall be limited to 25 minutes and no member shall speak for more than five minutes. No measure shall be reconsidered more than once.
