Aye

Aye

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

If this bill fails, it will be reintroduced in the presidential slot. The lack of substantive debate on this bill is unacceptable and a failure on the part of the Senate. Objections should be raised prior to the vote.

Changing my vote to an abstention

Don't the companies typically fund the drug tests as it is.

I get the desired objective, but I am uncertain if this materially effects the situation. Atlascare covers individuals so unless the person is required to pay for it themselves or cover it with in insurance, I don't see how Atlas care is even relevant to the matter.

I am still open to voting Aye if this can be further explained.

The bill simply imposes a Hyde Amendment-like rule on federal funds for drug testing. Drug testing, which I assumed was covered by health care plans, is not something we should expect the taxpayer to foot the bill for.

I don't think the government should be taking a blanket position against drug testing. There will be circumstances where it is a reasonable request, if the intent is to deal with unreasonable circumstances then a new bill needs to be written with that purpose.

Nay

I thought this only dealt with govt funding such?

(Narrator: Ishan did not, apparently, see this.)

The bill passes. Being generous in counting Lech and Disco's votes since they were technically after 72 hours, but with the PPT apparently unavailable to close votes that is the least of our worries here.

Nays (4): Deadprez, OSR, Spark, Pericles

Would the PPT/DPPT sign this and include the vote tally before I sign it please?

I've informed Ishan about the bills that need his signature (Ishan do your job challenge #2k21)
