A key aspect of the proposal was a requirement for community input into controversial laws through a citizens'panel or jury.
Greens'MLC David Shoebridge amended Mr Latham's motion and the proposal will now be considered by the upper house's procedure committee.
Mr Latham,who worked on the idea with former NSW Treasury secretary Percy Allan,said the most problematic laws in NSW had been"rushed,ill-considered legislation and decision-making".
"I still get representations about uncoupling councils that are unhappy with amalgamations and we are still trying to unscramble the egg out of the lock-out laws,"Mr Latham said.
"There is no evidence that rushing legislation through with a command of numbers leads to good public policy and good public outcomes."
A parliamentary inquiry into the lock-out laws is now underway,with hearings to start next month.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian ordered a review into the controversial laws ahead of a push in the upper house from the Shooters,Fishers and Farmers,and the Greens to scrap the lock-outs.
