Why didn't you just make an omnibus "animal protection act"?

Because they don't all pass (see: Feline Protection Act). An omnibus bill would be much more likely to fail. And an Animal Protection Act already exists, but it's anti-animal. I didn't vote for it.

Unless section 2 of that bill is omitted or changed, I will vehemently oppose this new education bill.  Replacing a pilot program for separate sex classrooms with graphing calculators and video projectors?  No.

Environmental Conservation and Protection Act

Recognizing that:

1) Federal, regional, and local governments have set aside lands to conserve the natural beauty, resources, inhabitants, or environment in total, of an area

2) These lands have value to society beyond what the market may dictate

3) The federal government has the responsibility to ensure reasonable protections for lands designated for conservation

The Senate of the Republic of Atlasia shall place an immediate ban on all land transfers involving lands designated by the federal, local, or regional governments for conservation and/or environmental protection. The Secretary of Internal Affairs shall be required to review and approve any land transfer to private ownership involving federal land.

When designating protected lands, there shall from here on be two groups: land for restoration and land for conservation.

Land for restoration shall be given a specific time frame for the regeneration, restoration, and recovery of the natural environment before being available for purchase, of no less than fifteen (15) years.

Land for conservation shall be permanently protected, excepting the consent of the Senate, the Secretary of Internal Affairs, the President, the legislature of the region the land is located in, and the executive of the region the land is located in.

Formerly protected federal lands shall not be sold for less than typical market value, subject to an independent review board.

Homeless Shelter and Emergency Housing Act of 2011

In recognizing that there are many reasons for homelessness in Atlasia, and recognizing that some only need assistance in the short term while others need long term support:

1)  The Senate shall set aside $1 billion for the expansion, construction, and updating of short term emergency housing and shelters for families that unexpectedly become homeless.  Such shelters will generally house families for less than 90 days and these shelters will assist families in finding affordable housing, be it public or private.

2)  The Senate shall set aside $1 billion for the expansion, construction, and updating of homeless shelters for individuals or families that need such shelters periodically for short durations.  These shelters shall have sufficient air conditioning and heating to maintain a comfortable environment for the vulnerable and homeless in heat waves and extreme cold.  Recognizing that many chronically homeless are unlikely to find permanent housing, often by choice, the purpose of these shelters is to provide temporary shelter when they need it.

3)  The Senate shall set aside $50 million annually to assist police and fire departments in communication with local homeless prior to extreme weather events in order to encourage them to use the shelters.

4)  The Senate shall set aside $200 million annually for counseling services for families that suddenly become homeless.  These counselors shall act as a liaison for these families and assist with ensuring any children are enrolled and attending school as well as assisting the families with finding permanent housing.  They shall also help families with the psychological effects of suddenly becoming homeless.

5)  The Senate shall set aside $250 million annually to maintain and fund services for emergency housing and shelters outlined above.  This money shall be used in the purchase of food, supplies, and transportation at the shelters as well as for periodic maintenance of the facilities to keep them in good working order.

6)  Regional Housing Authorities will have priority access to the funds outlined above and may appropriate the funds as they wish, so long as they meet the guidelines above.

Right to Treatment Act

Whereas millions of Atlasians consume cannabis for medical purposes as prescribed by their doctor or self. And whereas there is an overwhelming scientific consensus that cannabis has beneficial medical purposes, it shall be resolved that:

Nowhere within the Republic of Atlasia shall restrictions or excessive regulations be placed on marijuana consumed for medical purposes. The following conditions are considered valid for medical cannabis and their treatments shall be covered under Section 1 of the Atlasian National Health Care Act (F.L. 32-12): arthritis, anorexia, anxiety, bulimia, cachexia, cancer, chronic pain, depression, insomnia, HIV or AIDS, epilepsy, migraine,  multiple sclerosis, post-traumatic stress disorder, and stroke.



I ask that this legislation please be introduced as quickly as possible, via emergency slot if possible, as the treatment of hundreds of thousands of patients is at stake.

See Mideast Assembly.

Yes I see that, but as a region they can do that.  The Federal Gov can only effect federal law.  Thus my first point of make it all legal.  Then I went to my second point that I thought it was legal, but thought I might be just thinking of the Pacific.  I could be wrong...

Turns out I wasn't.  See

 https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Marijuana_Legalization_and_Taxation_Act

As all marijuana is legal, this federal law may not be needed.  Especially considering, pursuant to the Amendment to that bill, the regions could do what they want (which I would argue they could anyways).
