SB 108-27: Equity Act (Debating)

[Joseph Cao]

Not on board with this amendment, restricting federal TP supplies to three-ply and above makes section 3 effectively a lie.

[Joseph Cao]

There being an objection, a vote is now open on the following amendment.

EQUITY ACT

1. No federal funds shall be expended for the purchase of one-ply or two-ply toilet paper.

2. No federal funds shall be expended for the purchase of toilet paper for the White House, Supreme Court, Atlasian Capitol building, appurtenant offices, and/or other federal buildings that is of different, varying, or inferior or superior quality to toilet paper provided in or on any other federal property.

3. It is the position of the Senate of Atlasia that no officer or employee of the Atlasian government shall receive better quality toilet paper in public toilets than is available to the general public in such toilets.

4. This act shall take effect within thirty (30) days of passage.

Senators have 96 hours to vote. Please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.

[Joseph Cao]

Nay. This is impossible to enforce.

[Joseph Cao]

Amendment rejected by a vote of 4-7-2-5, debate resumes.

[Joseph Cao]

Unfortunately that might be beyond the scope of this bill. If we can at least exact a guarantee like the one in the text that would be one thing, but universal TP seems to me to bring a whole other set of considerations.

[Joseph Cao]

Sure. 24 hours to object to the motion.

[Joseph Cao]

A final vote is now open on the following bill:

EQUITY ACT
