Sane Automobile Policy Act [At Final Vote]

[Platypus]

Aye.

I understand the need for a reform in transportation methods used in major urban centers, but I personally don't think it would be a good idea to implement I HOV-only policuy. It would be something worth looking into, excpet that we'll never get the report and so it's just another wasted promise of the Atlasian government if we pass a bill asking for one. Therefore, for practicality's sake, I vote to strike that section of the bill.

My views on the rest of the bill are dependent on the following areas of interest I have;

-What are the current standards? I believe Atlasia has already passed multiple pieces of legislation relating to CAFE standards (in fact, I have done so myself in the past as a Senator), so what levels are they currently at?

-Should 'Any automaker' (S.II, C.1) be changed to 'Any Atlasian automaker'? I struggle to see the benefit of sending Atlasian money to Toyota or Peugeot, without gaurantees that that money will be spent inside the republic.

If the Senate could respond to my concerns that would be wonderful. I'd particularly like to hear a response from Senator Jake on the first point.

[Platypus]

Because I cannot compare the proposed standards to previous standards, I am forced to vote

Nay
