[Dr. MB]

a few minor fixes that, as the title says, would make Atlasia a little more great.

Section 2 amends the Make Nyman a Paradise act (where I originally got the bill idea from). It extends the permissible times for a yard sale, allows people to hang religious items on the outside of their doors, and bans pet licenses which are unnecessary and authoritarian.

Section 3 repeals the Wild and Free Roaming Horses and Burros act, which encroaches on these animals instead of protecting them. It allows horse roundups from their native habitat, auctioning them off away from their herds. These practices need to stop.

(actually looking more into it I think there are parts of this that should stay - my main goal is to get rid of horse roundups. Maybe Mr Reactionary could get some more accurate info)?

Section 4 gets rid of some unnecessary and overpowering copyright laws which don't do much except protect major corporations.

Section 5 imposes penalties for trying to clone humans, a cruel and inhumane practice that we don't need in Atlasia.

Section 6 repeals the Jones Act, which bans foreigners from participating in inter-Atlasian trade.

Section 7 honors civil rights legends Malcolm X and W.E.B. Du Bois and also generates revenue for the government.

Section 8 adds a law (the 1984=1776 Act) which was passed by the House and would have passed the Senate if not for a misunderstanding from Vice President Pericles.

[YE]

This got buried and is going to need a new sponsor soon.

Introduce this in the Senate, MB since there are open slots there.

[RC (a la Frémont)]

I’ll pick up sponsorship.

[thumb21]

I am in the process of doing more research before I am able to fully form my opinion. There are many good provisions in this bill.

Would it be worth leaving out section 3 and proposing a seperate bill which deals with the protection of wild horses? I don't know if simply repealing the law without replacing it would be a good idea.

Yeah I’d recommend that. I was a little misguided originally. As long as horse roundups and auctions are stopped.

[Elcaspar]

I concur with what Representative Thumb21 has said about this bill. A separate bill that deals with the protection of wild horses is bound to be more detailed and comprehensive.

[thumb21]

I also feel like the Jones Act is a seperate issue too. It definately needs major change but I don't think a full repeal would be a good idea. I'd prefer we take it out of the bill and raise the issue in a new bill, as with the Horses and Burros Act.

I'm happy with the rest of the bill.

[Dr. MB]

No problem with dealing with the Jones Act in a separate bill either.

[fhtagn]

Objecting to the amendment.

[thumb21]

Objecting to the amendment.

Is there a specific reason? If you support repealing the Jones Act or Horses and Burros Act, fair enough. The reason they are being removed from this bill is to split sections of the bill that are completely seperate from the rest so they can be debated in seperate bills. The amendment is procedural, not political.

[Elcaspar]

I agree with Representative Thumb21. Separating the Jones Act or Horses and Burros Act parts of this bill allows for more detailed discussions, and for more comprehensive bills overall. I for one support the proposed amendment.

[thumb21]

Bump

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

Wasn't the Jones Act already repealed?

Passed the house, failed in the senate - unless you are thinking of another time.

[Dr. MB]

So is someone gonna introduce the amendment to strike out the Jones Act part?

I included it in my amendment up there

[Dr. MB]

Time to start a vote then?

[Elcaspar]

I would like to motion for a vote on Representative Thumb21's amendment.

Actually timeout this needs a new sponsor...
