The motion to pass on is a dilatory parliamentary motion used in legislative procedure. It is distinct from the motion to table or to postpone to a certain time. The motion delays consideration of a matter for a later time without indicating prejudice with respect to it.^[1] According to Mason's Manual, matter passed on in this way remains subject to subsidiary motion.^[1] The motion to pass on is not subject to debate, but requires a majority vote.
