Whether you wish to amend the SOAP or have Lt. Governor Fezzyfestoon create a new thread is your prerogative.

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

I just PMed our Lt Governor about creating a new thread. After that, we're getting this party started!

The question is whether the bill should be considered?

The ayes have it.

Debate on this bill shall extend until at least Sunday, July 4th, 8:13 AM unless the debate period is shortened or extended in accordance with the SOAP.

The Sponsor, Rep. WilliamSargent, has the floor

[Ameriplan]

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I want to begin by hoping that you all have a great holiday weekend.

First off, the reason I created this bill was because of this year's election for governor, lieutenant governor, and assembly. Though the gubernatorial election ran smoothly, the assembly results were not certified until a week after, despite no controversy.

While I do not begrudge the CJO, as his job is unquestionably difficult, we want to make sure that election results arrive in a timely manner.

Thus my bill. Though the deadline is one day, I have had requests to amend that. I would accept an amendment to lengthen the deadline.

I have also created two backup positions, to help the CJO should he not be able to fulfill his duty.

The deadline shall also be waived should the election prove controversial, at the discretion of the lieutenant governor.

Thank you.

[AndrewTX]

I must say that although I know this bill has a good reason behind it, I dont find it needed. The CJO, Lt. Governor, and Governor (atleast by the last NE Constitution) were able to provide and certify results. When it comes to the Assembly, it takes time in counting the numbers to make sure that they are correct, and many people, including myself, do have work or school, whcih makes it difficult to provide that number as soon as the election has been completed.

[Free Palestine]

I agree with AndrewCT.  There are good reasons for why election results are delayed, and putting an arbitrary limit like this does little good.

Well, the bill certainly provides for good reasons.

[justW353]

I also do not see the need for this bill.  Adversely, I find it to be distracting this body from more important matters.

Well, it was the first bill submitted in the thread, which is why I chose to bring it to a debate and a vote.

Well, of course procedure must be followed, but I see bringing this bill to a vote as, well, pointless.

[Ameriplan]

Looks like the nays have it

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

So are we tabling this then?

I think so, unless someone has any objection

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

Seeing as Representative Sargent has tabled his bill,

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

This bill was submitted at the request of President Purple State and Vice President Marokai Blue. I'm kind of ambivalent about game reform, but a reboot and a constitutional convention doesn't sound like a bad idea, and will make the game more interesting. What do y'all think?

[Ameriplan]

I support Speaker's motion.

[Rowan]

I repeat my request to the Assembly, please get me a bill that increases the minimum wage and cuts small business taxes on my desk, ASAP. The people of the Northeast are counting on you.

Sorry for not getting it to you sooner, the bill was lost during the whole situation where we needed to create another legislation thread, but I have asked Representative WilliamSargent (who wrote the initial bill) to submit it in the new legislation thread, so the bill should hopefully be coming into the Assembly for debate soon.
