SB 108-16: Restoring Gun Safety Act (Tabled)

[Joseph Cao]

Nay.

[Joseph Cao]

Aye!

[Joseph Cao]

At some point one has to wonder how long votes can be left unattended.

By a vote of 7-4-0-7, the amendment is adopted.

[Joseph Cao]

Nay.

[Joseph Cao]

AYE

Great to know that Atlasia is not a “civilized country.”

Why is a General Discussion board about a political LARPing game relevant and why do opinions on a fantasy state government's fantasy ruling for a fantasy event apply here?

Before we move further I just want to, belatedly, point out that the alleged sponsor is no longer in the Senate and has not been for nearly a month.

Someone feel free to sponsor this.

[Joseph Cao]

I motion to sponsor and move to strike the bill in its entirety and replace it with the original text

Not sure this can be done when we’re in the midst of a final vote?

Final vote was never opened, for the record, because I noticed the issue I pointed out above and want to resolve it quickly before we proceed.

My motion stands then and was made first

Motions do not “stand” or otherwise unless the presiding officer reacts to them. 24 hours to object to S019’s motion to sponsor, which, to be clear, is separate from the amendment he proposes.

We’ll look at his motion to sponsor, then Mr. R’s motion to sponsor, then S019’s amendment.

edit: I owe Mr. R a Coke apparently.

Technically isn't this already tabled.

The sponsor of a piece of legislation may at any time withdraw their sponsorship. In addition, when the sponsor is no longer a Senator, their sponsorship shall be revoked automatically. If no member of the Senate moves to assume sponsorship of the legislation within 48 hours, the legislation shall be tabled automatically.

What worries me about this whole business is that we continued to propose amendments, vote up and down etc. on a ghost bill, which serves of course to demonstrate why the people in charge need to actually control this aspect of the floor proceedings so that this kind of thing doesn’t happen.

Anyway, unambiguous language and all that, consider this bill tabled.
