SENATE BILL: Domestic Security Act (Passed)

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

I agree with the amendments of this bill except for sections 5 and 6. I don't see why possession of this should be banned for private individuals.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Before we can proceed, we need a new sponsor here.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I motion to assume sponsorship myself. Senators have 24 hours to object.

If time and ability allows, I intend to get MB's feedback on amendments before declaring them friendly/hostile.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Seeing no objection, I am now sponsor.

The amendment having been made under terms dictated by MB before his departure would thus constitute his vision and therefore I deem it friendly.
