There isn't really much to debate, unless some people have a thing against interns.

I'm fairly certain there is already a federal law doing this but I need to look it up

I was dwelling on this earlier and noted that congresscritters have interns. However, the equivalent of those in Atlasia is us, incidentally. I don't have any interns.

I'm sure there are lots of other occupational fields that have interns. However, I do agree with the spirit of this legislation and would like to sign it, provided it can be fleshed out a bit more.

What anti-workplace discrimination laws do we currently have on the books?

Does this bill refer to Regional laws/ordinances only or does it also include State/local ordinances?

If this is passed as is, I'll probably veto it.

I like the bill and agree with its aims, but as it stands we need to make this more definitive.

So I'd like to revisit this issue at some point during my term and make it workable.
