Incidental main motion, in parliamentary procedure, is a classification under Robert's rules of order for a group of main motions that are incidental to or related to the business of the assembly, or its past or future action.[1] In contrast, regluar main motions are motions that introduce new business. Unlike regular main motions, incidental main motions cannot have objection to the consideration of the question applied to them.
[edit] Motions with corresponding incidental main motions (RONR)
The following secondary motions have corresponding incidental main motions with the same name:

[edit] Privileged motions
[edit] Motions that bring a question again before the assembly
- Rescind, repeal, or annul or amend something previously adopted
- Discharge a committee (if the subject was referred by a main motion rather than by the subsidiary motion to commit)
