Is the Lt Governorship currently vacant ?
It'd be nice to have a final vote of this bill before the beginning of the new session.

The Ayes are for; the Nays are one. The Ayes have it, the Bill has passed.


Anti-Discrimination Act

1. The Northeast Government pledges to uphold the rights of all citizens regardless of race, gender, class, sexuality, ethnicity, religion, and disability status.
2. The Northeast Government will hereby refuse government contracts to any company or organization which is found to discriminate on the basis of race, gender, class, sexuality, ethnicity, religion, and disability status.
3. The Northeast Government, in hiring, and in representation, shall not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, class, sexuality, ethnicity, religion, and disability status.

Sponsor: Rep. Hamilton

The question is whether the Bill should be considered?

The ayes have it.

The Sponsor, Reprenetative Alexander Hamilton, has the floor.

As long as this bill doesn't enforce affirmative action, I'm willing to back it.

Does it have any provisions that even begin to hint at affirmative action?

Does anything think that I, of all people, would write a bill in favor of affirmative action?

With the First Assembly adjourning for good tonight, there will not be enough time to consider this legislation.

Well, we have Monday to debate, also. The new term begins on Tuesday.

Well, if we can open a final vote ASAP, then we can get this through. I don't think there are many "decisions" to be made on whether or not to support this legislation.

Is it possible to have a special motion to shorten the debate time ?

Yep.

I take that as a motion. Under Extraordinary Circumstances, I Herby move the debate time to end at 12:00 Midnight. We will proceed with a vote then.

Awesome. Also, I'd like to ask my fellow Representatives if they would be interested in a two-bill floor next session. As my final term, I certainly have a lot of proposals, but I don't want to flood the queue and stop other Reps from introducing. I think we will have enough to debate two bills at once next session.

I think it would be hard for most of us to follow 2 bills simultaneously.

It's hard for "most of us" to follow one bill, yet they keep getting voted in and active people left off of ballots. So let's not go down that route.

Precisely. Do you think it would be easier for them to follow twice at the same time ?
As for me, I'd personally have no problem with this, but people like Fezzy, Mr Moderate, Dr Cynic or Smid would have difficulties to take part in debates in those conditions. Obviously, people, tell me if I'm wrong. Wink

And so because of their inactivity, the Assembly's work should suffer? I should hope not. Imagine if the US Senate worked revolved around Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd's ability to participate. Um... Yeah.

Only because they're not as involved as us, it doesn't mean they are inactive. And I'd like that they remain able to take part into debates, as they currently do.
