Pacific Legislature Official Thread

[bgwah]

And why do we need a convention?

Third Constitutional Convention Petition

The Pacific Region formally petitions the President of Atlasia to call a Constitutional Convention.
Fairly straightforward and uncontroversial.

I suppose the one week time limit has passed, so I would like to re-propose this bill.

X Bgwah

Once it gains a total of three signatures (or the Governor's) we can have a vote on it.

[bgwah]

Nay
Aye

Voting on the proposed measures will end in about 20-21 hours.

Both: Aye

Legislative voting lasts for a week, actually.

[bgwah]

I'll give my five votes to:

Bgwah
CultureKing
Meeker
Marokai Blue
Lunar, if he wants it. If he drops out, the fifth goes to MaxQue

That is interesting. Some propositions are bad, but others are good. I will write something more detailled tomorrow.

By the way, what are the rules of this Legislature?

When are we going to vote on the capital punishment abolishment amendment?

CultureKing hasn't logged on yet today. I suspect he will open the voting booth when he does.

[bgwah]

I sign all as well, for the record.

Just a question, why doesn't the Pacific move their legislature thread to the Elections main board so that new members are more aware of its existence?

It's never crossed my mind, but I suspect it would frequently fall off the first page, making it even less noticeable.

Just a question, why doesn't the Pacific move their legislature thread to the Elections main board so that new members are more aware of its existence?

I would love to do that, and in fact, I'd love an entirely new legislature thread so it seems a bit less daunting.

Heresy!

I think y'all need to take 30 seconds to read the Pacific Constitution's legislature section. Signatures are required for a vote. You guys aren't even signing your own legislation.

The Governor can side-step those silly signature regulations simply by just bringing it up.

Not quite. The Governor can sign it and then a vote can be held no earlier than 24 hours later.

Trust me, I became quite familiar with Pacifican law after being Governor for so long.

And from what I recall, all current proposals have now expired, not getting the required signatures in time. You can re-propose them, though...

And really, just PM the guy.

Humane Farming Practices Bill

2) Any farm found to be violating this rule due to negligence will be fined at least $10,000 and up to $1,000,000, depending on the scale and severity of the violation.
3) Any farm found to be purposely violating this rule (such as but not limited to an attempt to sell kosher meats) shall be fined up to $5,000,000 and shut down.

[bgwah]

They can import their meat.

[bgwah]

They can import their meat.

You are displacing countless processing plants, forcing them to close down and layoff workers. This will also increase the price of kosher and halal meat/poultry in the Pacific.

That is no excuse.
