Can we put there a projects regardless of the order of debate in Assembly thread?

I would suggest waiting until debate is finished on one bill to propose another, but if you do post one here, I promise I won't forget about it!

The New Northeast Minimum Wage Act

1. The Northeast Minimum Wage Act is hereby repealed.
2. The Northeast minimum wage shall be equivalent to the current Federal minimum wage.
3. The Northeast minimum wage shall increase and decrease concurrent to the Federal minimum wage.

How bourgeoisie.

Our current minimum wage was $6.75. This raises it.

Ahem.

Please, please, please, do not post anything other that Legislation in here, i.e. arguments, etc.

I open the Proposed Legislation Thread for the New Assembly. All Legislation must be reintroduced.

But, be advised, all Bills dealing with the economy (specifically, taxes), will be considered first, and Constitutional Amendments will be considered second.

[Barnes]

I hereby close the Proposed Legislation Thread. All members please wait to propose any Bills until  the New Assembly starts, on Tuesday.

The Proposed Legislation Thread is now open for the Second Assembly.

Third Draft (new language from the first draft in red)

Standing Order on Assembly Procedure

1. Proposed Legislation Thread
(a) The Lt. Governor shall open a new Northeast Assembly proposed legislation thread at the start of each Northeast Assembly term.
(b) Representatives, the Governor and any concerned Northeast citizen shall post the full text of any proposed legislation in a response to the Northeast Assembly proposed legislation thread for the current term.  Each response shall contain only one piece of proposed legislation. 
(c) Nothing shall be posted to the Northeast Assembly proposed legislation thread except proposed legislation or a Northeast citizen's signature for proposed citizen legislation.

Pursuant to powers granted to me in the SOAP, I introduce this Resolution:

Resolution Congratulating the Southeast on establishing a Regional Assembly 
1. The Northeast hereby congratulates the Southeast on establishing the first elected Assembly in the region's history.
2. The Northeast also wishes the Assembly well in its mission of expanding representative government.

This needs to be co-sponsored by another Northeast citizen before it is immediately put on the agenda, if I recall the SOAP rules correctly.

That's fine by me.
