This bill is a public submission by Clyde1998, Editor of the Atlasia Chronicle.

I have an issue with clause 1 of section 1. I don't feel that biweekly visits would be enough to effectively prevent prisoners who were convicted of serious crimes (like armed robbery, murder, and rape) from committing more crimes in the future. Life imprisonment is a thing for a reason.

[Clark Kent]

But yeah, I still have to object to letting criminals who committed serious crimes out.

[Clark Kent]

I can support Senator Blair's amendment. If it requires a House sponsor, I will do it.

Also I apologize for waiting so long on this bill.

[Clark Kent]

Seeing as how well over 36 hours have passed, Senator Blair's amendment has been adopted.

Barring any objections, we will now move to a final vote.

[Clark Kent]

I'm not sure if there's much need to have a vote now, as the Senate has already voted against the proposal. Although, there could be a vote to see whether the House supports the bill at this time. Unleash I'm misunderstanding the system in place.

As far as I can tell, we vote anyways, even though the bill will not pass at this time.

[Clark Kent]

The voting period has not closed yet, but I have been busy with classes the last few days and was unable to contact Representatives until today, so I will extend the voting periods on all bills currently being voted on for an additional 24 hours.
