SENATE BILL: Queue Sanity OSPR Amendment (Passed)

[Talleyrand]

I recall Bacon King once telling me that the queue was in fact regularly cleared at the beginning of each senate session. When was the specific law passed that changed that?

An amendment.

AYE.

Can we at least pass an amendment stating that bills sponsored by a former Senator will removed from the queue and have to be reintroduced by another Senator unless a cosponsor already exists to take up the bill?

[Talleyrand]

NAY

[Talleyrand]

It's ironic - when I introduced this amendment to my bill I thought I was moving it a bit closer in the direction of Nix and Talleyrand.  Why that now is supposed to mean I'm putting forward some sort of partisan power grab is beyond me.

You might be well-intentioned here, but I think your amendment, as Nix pointed out, would cap off a Senator's ideas unfairly. I was hoping that we'd get less frivolous bills or those with no real base of support in the Senate less than we do so now.

What is the final text here?

[Talleyrand]

NAY
