Northeast Assembly Thread

[Rowan]

It's been over a week since the Assembly has conducted any business. What's going on guys?

It's been over a week since the Assembly has conducted any business. What's going on guys?

We're too busy being Hamilton.

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

Governor, there's simply been no legislation on the table at the moment- as soon as somebody submits legislation (or, for that matter, if you want to propose something) we'll get this party rolling again.

[Ameriplan]

I would like to submit legislation.

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

I would like to submit legislation.

Submit it here, then.

I would like to submit legislation.

Go for it.

[Ameriplan]

I would like to submit legislation.

Go for it.

I'll send it tomorrow. Right now, I'm in the process of registering with a different party and deciding what course of action I should take.

[AndrewTX]

Sorry Gov, looks like we've been out partyin a bit too much. I'm sure we will get things back on track shortly.

[Rowan]

Sorry Gov, looks like we've been out partyin a bit too much.

And you didn't invite me??

[justW353]

I'm hoping to introduce a major piece of legislation tomorrow.

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

If this is OK with Assembly Procedure, Representative WilliamSargent has authorized me to vote in his name- as he will be absent temporarily.

Hello Speaker,

I've been shot in an assassination attempt (mod review)

I will temporarily be unavailable. I authorize you to vote in my name, however way you choose.
                                                              Thanks,
                                                              William

[Rowan]

Is that legal?

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

I glanced the Constitution and I don't think there's anything prohibiting that. If the rest of the Assembly feels uncomfortable about it, I will not exercise Representative Sargent's voting power (because he could just be counted as a leave of absense).

Sponsor: Rep. justW353

The question is whether the bill should be considered?

The ayes have it.

Debate on this bill shall extend until at least Thursday, August 12, 10:40 AM unless the debate period is shortened or extended in accordance with the SOAP.

The Sponsor, Rep. justW353, has the floor

[justW353]

First, let me thank the Speaker for posting this bill in my absence and at my request.  Due to unforeseen circumstances, I cannot fully explain why I believe this bill to be essential, however I will say a few words.

Months ago this body rejected a bill that would have reformed the healthcare industry.  I have written a bill that I hope at least partially alleviates the concerns felt about the rejected bill.

This bill was developed by individuals with varying opinions, and I hope that fact is reflected in it's text.  I'll let the bill speak for itself, but I urge you to vote for this bill, which aims only to lower the costs of healthcare for all the residents of the Northeast.

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

We will now hold a vote on The Northeastern Healthcare Act. Representatives have 24 hours to vote.

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

Aye

[Free Palestine]

Yeah

[Ameriplan]

Just wanted to comment on this bill.

This is exactly the type of bill needed to solve Atlasia's healthcare woes. Not only does it end many of the insurance companies' greed-mongering, it also avoids the socialist direction the JCP's would have taken it in.

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

With six ayes, and one unexcused absence (has Zacoftheaxes been certified yet as the winner of the NE assembly special election?), The Northeastern Healthcare Act has passed, and will be sent to the Governor's desk for his signature or veto.

[Rowan]

The CJO certified the results so zacoftheaxes should be participating.
