Lincoln Assembly Bill 14.11 is now on the Assembly floor. The mandatory 72-hour period of debate will now commence.

[wxtransit]

I support this bill, as I see no benefit to allowing lobbyists to influence the votes of our democratic process, especially with no protections. Anyone in dissent/want to add comments?

[Pragmatic Conservative]

I motion for a final vote on this bill.

[wxtransit]

As it has not been 72 hours since debate started, motions to proceed to a final vote cannot yet be made. Instead you'll have to make a cloture motion which will then proceed to a vote. Seeing as there isn't much debate going on, I'll motion for cloture, 24 hours to object.

[Pragmatic Conservative]

As debate has occurred on this bill for 72 hours we will skip to a 48 hour final vote. Members please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain on this bill.

This bill is submitted to the Governor for his signature and or veto

The closing and opening of a vote is, as far as I am aware, a duty of the Speaker. Additionally, I am not sure if your vote is valid, considering you were technically not a member at the time you cast it; instead, 1184AZ's vote would be, I believe, the valid one. Should I be mistaken on any of these counts, I urge some of our more well-versed players to correct me.
