In advance of the convention, a hearing on resolution(s) was be held via Zoom.
Having a hearing in advance, reduces the work on resolutions that needs to be done on the day of the convention as resolutions will have already been thoroughly discussed.
Our rules of order permit late resolutions to be submitted up to convention day, these are only considered when a supermajority (two-thirds) of voters approves hearing them. Late resolutions (often referred to as floor resolutions) are any debatable resolutions received after the 60-day deadline.
Late resolutions are strongly discouraged. Therefore, the convention will be urged by the bishop to reject consideration of any late resolution that could have been submitted on time, and instead resolution writers are urged to submit them for the next convention.
View four resolutions submitted before deadline, here.
