This shouldn't be on the floor considering we already have 4 things up.

Isn't one of them Forum Affairs-related, meaning that 4 other pieces of legislation may be considered simultaneously?

Only the PPT can move the other one to the fifth slot which I'll do now since this is already up.

[MasterJedi]

I hereby open up the vote on this amendment. Please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.

The Senate shall have power to to set a minimum wage, as it deems necessary throughout the Republic of Atlasia.

[MasterJedi]

Aye

[MasterJedi]

So, can anyone give me a reason why this shoudln't be done by the regions?

It will allow the Senate to establish a federal minimum standard - a threshold of decency

I applaud the my esteemed colleagues for passing this Amendment
