Lincoln Assembly Act

Lincoln Anti-Lobbying Act

I - Definition: This bill is written as to prevent regional legislators and officials from being influenced by or going into the business of lobbying. This will have no affect on nationally elected politicians.

II - Transparency: All meetings with lobbyists must be recorded by the assembly and will take place in an open area under supervision of multiple lawyers to prevent possible corruption. These lawyers must be independent and provided by an outside source.

III - Restrictions on meeting with lobbyists in office: Elected or appointed officials, including Governor, Cabinet Officials, and Assembly members must be approved by an independent commission to meet with lobbyists.

IV- Citizen’s clause: There will be no restriction on meetings with people not associated with a lobbying firm.

This needs a sponsor, as well as some revision, so I hope this assembly will be able to amend this.

I sponsor this in order to get it into the floor, but I do want to amend some parts.

He asked someone to sponsor it, that's why I did. If it was a rule slip, I apologize!

I'll put it down as the Governor who sponsored it, as he introduced it into the thread, but you could be added as a cosponsor if you like (you'd just need to ask him).

No, that's fine. Thanks. I just misunderstood the sponsoring rules.

The Healthy Schools Act

Section I.In order to establish the health and well-being of Lincoln's youth in the schools managed by the government, to produce and foster healthy eating and proper exercise routines among Lincoln's youth, the following provisions shall be adopted:

1. The food offered at lunch in any way by the school to the Lincoln student in the normal activities of the school year shall not contain more than 850 (eight-hundred fifty) calories and no less than 700 (seven-hundred) of these per serving.

2. Schools are to balance the nutrients they have available at the cafeteria, limiting the students' carbohydrate intake in favor of healthier foods (such as fruits or vegetables,) while still being in consideration of the developing child or teenager's nutritional necessities.

3. Every school is to offer to a totality of its student population a minimum of one hour and thirty minutes of exercise per school week to be covered in a Physical Education curriculum.

4. An outreach campaign shall be commissioned, managed by the Lincoln Department of Health and Human Services in conjunction with the Lincoln Department of Education, with the goal reaching the students of the region (using whichever methods they may consider, such as videos, promotional campaigns, or presentations to the students) and communicate to them the importance of a healthy diet and exercise, as well as providing regular basic checkups (covering issues such as weight, height, or blood pressure) by any school nurse which might be on duty.

Section II. This bill goes into effect upon signing by the Governor

Seconded, although I´m concerned about the consequences of this bill and would like to see modifications.

Oh, ok. I would then withdraw the parts of this bill that are in conflict with L.10.7.4  (namely points 2 and maybe 1) but I rather believe points 3 and 4 are not in conflict with the previous bill, and would instead complement and reinforce it.

Section 1 is not in conflict but still concerning.

Peanut, for the Healthy Schools Act do you want me to bring to the floor only sections 3 and 4 or also section 2?

If possible, I'd like only sections 3 and 4 to be brought to to the floor. They are the least conflictive with the other bill. Thanks.

This is probably illegal under the dormant commerce clause, as this  discriminates against Atlasian goods from outside Lincoln.

Cutting section 2, does it comply with regulations? If so, I would like to put sections 1 and 3 in the floor.

Sections 1 and 3 are lawful exercises of Regional power and do not discriminate against interstate commerce so those are fine. The Constitutional ban on discrimination against interstate commerce is obscure, even in real life. But basically just as you cant prohibit citizens of other Regions from freely traveling into Lincoln the same applies to goods in commerce.
