The FINAL vote on LC 2.8 Improving the efficiency of the Lincoln Government Act is now closed

Aye: 5 (SNJC, lfromnj, tack50, Ninja, thr33)
Abstain: 0
Nay: 2 (Pyro, Griff)
Not voting: 2 (Zaybay, Dipper Josh)

So this bill passes. As this is an ammendment to the SOAP, this does not require the governor's signature to be enacted, so I guess I'll sign it myself.
