Paperwork Reduction Act of 2005

I actually think that that isn't a bad idea at all, myself.

Senate Procedural Resolution on Legislation Introduction

Section 1-Defintions

Legilslation is defined as any bill, act, amendment to a present bill or act, procedural resolution, or constitutional amendment.

Section 2

1) The PPT will establish a thread for Senators to introduce legislation. This thread shall not be posted in, unless you are introducing legislation.

2) Before introducing legislation, the sponsoring senator shall PM the legislation to the PPT.  After doing so, the senator shall post it in the designated thread.

3) The PPT will give each piece of legislation debate time in the order of which it is posted in the Proposed Legislation Thread.

4) After a piece of legislation has been given debate time, the sponsoring senator shall introduce it on the senate floor.

I like this, and I would also add the idea that no one should formally debate any of the bills until they have been introduced and given debate time.

[Gabu]

Has any senator officially introduced Jake's legislation?  If not, I officially introduce it as of now.  If so, never mind. 

I hereby open debate on this resolution.

[Gabu]

Bump.  If we have absolutely nothing to debate, I motion that this be brought to an early vote.  If we do have something to debate, let's do it.

[Gabu]

One more senator is needed to close the debate.

[Gabu]

With three senators concurring, I hereby declare debate to have ended and voting to be opened.

All senators in favor, vote "aye"; all senators against, vote "nay".

[Gabu]

Aye.

[Gabu]

This now has a majority.

Yes, sorry; I was away for pretty much all of Saturday.

With six votes in favor to zero against, I hereby declare this resolution to have passed.
