Validy of Motion from the Floor

At our recent monthly association member meeting, a motion was made from the floor. This was a written motion and presented to the assocition secretary at the meeting. It was not presented in advance or put on the agenda. On our agenda, we have "New business" and this motion was presented as a new business item. The motion was passed unanimously.
The motion has now been rejected by the president and she refuses to act on it.
We are incorporated under FL Statute 617. Is this action legal?
I would appreciate any or all advice,
Sherrill

Was the motion from the membership or a board member?

Was this a Board meeting or a general membership meeting?

While FL617 statutes do apply to non profit corporations such as condos and HOAs, you are now regulated under FL718 (condo) or FL720 (HOA) depending on your situation.

Typically monthly meetings are of the Board of Directors not the membership. Thus motions from the floor are not permitted.

In the HOA situation, If the members want to an item added to a BOD meeting agenda they need to petition at least 20% of the membership. This does not guarantee a vote or ANY action on the petitioned item.

You can find this info in the applicable statutes listed above.
