The debating period has commenced. It shall last no less than 72 hours.

This amendment will clarify the standing rules on whether to suspend the rules.

This needs to be added into the Constitution as soon as possible.

Ah, it looks like you're right. Apparently, the amendments to the SOAP haven't been added yet. In that case, we'll have to table this bill as it's already passed.

[OneJ]

I motion to table this table this bill. Councilmembers have 48 hours to object.

[GM Peanut]

Speaker, reminder to close the objection period.

[OneJ]

Oh, right. As there were no objections, the vote to table has now commenced. Councilors have 48 hours to vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.

[PSOL]

Aye

[JGibson]
