unanimous-consent agenda

Read a random definition: false imprisonment

A quick definition of unanimous-consent agenda:

A unanimous-consent agenda is a list of things that a group of people need to vote on, but everyone agrees that they are not controversial and can be voted on quickly without debate. It helps the group get through their work faster and more efficiently. If someone objects to something on the list, they can speak up and it will be taken off the agenda for further discussion.

A more thorough explanation:

An unanimous-consent agenda is a list of business awaiting a deliberative assembly's vote that is not expected to be substantially opposed and is therefore scheduled for a vote without debate, or for automatic adoption unless a member objects. It is also known as a consent calendar or unanimous-consent calendar.

For example, a city council may have a long list of routine or noncontroversial matters to consider, such as approving minutes or renewing contracts. Instead of debating each item, they can use an unanimous-consent agenda to quickly and efficiently dispose of these matters. Every member has the right to object, but if no one objects, the items are automatically adopted.

Another example is a legislative committee that has reported out a list of bills for consideration by the entire legislature. If the bills are not controversial, they can be placed on an unanimous-consent agenda for a quick vote without debate.

The examples illustrate how an unanimous-consent agenda can be used to streamline the decision-making process for routine or noncontroversial matters, saving time and resources for the deliberative assembly.
