While it’s likely that Jones has the support from the majority of the council, it’s unclear if the entire body will agree to allow him to return immediately. Under the council’s rules, there must be a waiting period after an affirmative vote before a reinstated lawmaker can return to the Capitol. Only two council members need to object to a motion to suspend those rules.
