What heading on the agenda is used for items that are new to the meeting?

• A. New Business
• B. Old Business
• C. Special Orders
• D. Unfinished Business

Answer: (A)

New Business is the heading used for matters that are new to the meeting. It’s the place to introduce motions, proposals, or topics that haven’t been discussed or acted upon yet in this session. This distinguishes fresh items from topics that were already on the agenda and may need further action, which would fall under other headings like Old Business (topics previously discussed), Special Orders (items designated to be taken up at a specific time), or Unfinished Business (topics carried over from prior meetings). So for items newly brought up at this meeting, choose New Business.
