Hearing no objection, the amendment is adopted and a final vote is now open.  Senators, please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.

SENATE BILL

To extend the legal quarantine requirements

Be it enacted in both Houses of Congress Assembled,

1. This bill may be referred to as the "Extending quarantines for new arrivals Act"

2. All new international arrivals to the Republic of Atlasia must consent to a COVID-19 test.  Those who receive a positive diagnosis for COVID-19 shall be placed under mandatory quarantine for no shorter than 14 days.  If it is determined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that an insufficient number of testing supplies are available, new arrivals shall be forced to stay 14 days in quarantine in government-controlled facilities or until such time as testing might be available, on a first-come-first-served basis.

3. Congress shall, before January 1st, 2021, open a vote on whether to extend this legal quarantine requirement. The vote shall be a simple 'Aye' or 'Nay' on the extension.  If Aye receives a majority in both houses of Congress then Congress shall be able to decide on the length of the extension.  If no extension is specified before the end of the current length, it shall be assumed to be a 3 month extension lasting until June 30th, 2021.  If the extension fails to get Congressional approval, or if no congressional vote takes place, the legal requirement shall end on March 31st, 2021; unless Congress specifies another date.

4. The Atlasian federal government shall have the power to rent hotel space for these quarantines for new arrivals, in cases where the arrivals have no alternative venue to stay in upon testing positive or where an insufficient number of testing supplies are available.

5. This bill shall become enacted immediately after passage
