Was asked to offer this text as an amendment by non-constituent Atlasian citizen and officeholder. Since I am in a generous mood I will post it for review, eventhough the person who requested it was not a resident of the IDS.

I am not offering it at this time.

[Sbane]

I would like to submit an amendment that changes the healthcare costs in the proposed budget to those forecast by the GM due to the passage of the new healthcare bill.

[Sbane]

So with the passage of Amendments 49:30 and 49:31 we reduced the proposed top rate from 55% to 50% and then raised it back up to 60%?

Don Henley has a song called "You Can't Make Love". In this case, it should be "You Can't Fake Activity"


Of course he also has a song called "You're Not Drinking Enough", which fit just fine as is in situations like these, sbane.

I believe Amendment 49:31 was passed first since the 24 hours expired prior to Amendment 49:30 passing by a vote. Since they are contradictory, the more recent amendment should have been adopted, erasing the effects of Amendment 49:31 which also passed. Am I correct?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I don't know. In fact I am not even sure whether or not anything happens at the end of 24 hours except for activity being locked in place as it was when it expired. Actual passage may not occur untill I declare it having ended. There has never been an instance where clarifying such was necessary. I shouldn't have put two amendments so similar with regards to what is being changed up for consideration at the same time.

Section 3 of the OSPR reads:

Seatown's amendment takes effect automatically when the 24 hours expires regardless of whether or not it was declared by the PPT.

Thus it was negated approximately three hours later when my contradictory amendment was passed by a vote. It also does not matter whether the passage of this occurs once the necessary votes are in place or when declared by the PPT. Either way, the 6th vote occurred more than 24 hours after Seatown's amendment was announced for unanimous consent.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

My inclination here is to hold a vote on one or both amendments so that all are pleased with the outcome and feel reasonably satisfied with the legitimacy of the text after this is resolved.

Is this acceptable to both amendment sponsors?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

If you people had been more attentative we could get away with such "time savers".

New Amendment

[TJ in Oregon]

Actually seeing as how Seatown just re-proposed his amendment, I'm going to withdraw my previous consent and think that we ought to follow the rules as I stated before (mine passing is the current state of the bill) and we should vote on Seatown's. If his then passes, then mine would be simultaneously repealed. Does that make sense?

Yankee you're just trying to check and see if we're really paying attention

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I agree with TJ's suggestion.

Seatown's amendment is friendly.

[TJ in Oregon]

I'm going to object to Seatown's amendment like I should have done to begin with
