Sponsor: the President
Status: Debating

[Mr. Reactionary]

I have been authorized to introduce this. We repealed a similar law last December and the President wanted a revised version.

[Joseph Cao]

Fitting for recent events that we have a 2020 throwback on the floor.

I should note I don't actually drink the stuff either. However it is a relatively harmless means of promotion of an Atlasian industry, at least the Atlasian portion of a worldwide industry that seems to rival the Borgia family in internal ruthlessness. This is the original version of the bill that was brought to the floor back then and preserves more or less the same aim of promoting our own domestic produce.

Given the long timeframes I would imagine we hadn't actually implemented any of it yet, so no harm done if this is approved or rejected either way.

[Sirius_]

Why was it repealed in the first place, and what improvements if any have been made?

[SevenEleven]

Bring back the Catalina wine mixer imo.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Why was it repealed in the first place, and what improvements if any have been made?

I took out references to "Department of Agriculture,".

I have more amendments planned when floor activity starts and Im not on goober pills but nothing crazy.

[Pyro]

I'm more partial to whiskey, personally, but wine has its place.

[Pyro]

Seeing as this has been quiet for the past few days, I will motion for a final vote.

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

I propose an amendment.

[Pyro]

Is it up to Tack to decide if an amendment to this is friendly?

[Mr. Reactionary]

24 hours for objections to the amendment

[Mr. Reactionary]

I dont know much about wine. Is there an obvious reason for why the contest is every 6 year for whites but 9 years for red? Im working through a couple amendment ideas.

[Mr. Reactionary]

LT Amendment is adopted.

[Pyro]

Do you have these amendment proposals prepared? I would like to move ahead with this legislation.

[Mr. Reactionary]

I dont know much about wine. Is there an obvious reason for why the contest is every 6 year for whites but 9 years for red? Im working through a couple amendment ideas.

Do you have these amendment proposals prepared? I would like to move ahead with this legislation.

My goals are to:

- increase frequency of the contests (6 and 9 years seem too long between)

- ensure the contests are cost neutral, probably through allowing the use of some phrase on labels in exchange for sponsorship $

- ensure fairness of regional venue selection and judges probably rotating regions and equal representation in judges

- possibly change the contest name to something not from  a will ferrell movie.

Those were my reasons for repealing it last year. I will put the amendment language together. Without reasoning i think i want to align the duration of the contests between reds and whites. Not sure if every 2, 4, or 5 years. Any preference?

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

We should make this an omnibus bill on alcohol in my opinion.

We should have a contest for bourbon. I would also ask we have a provision allowing for Texas Whiskey, which is a growing enterprise and highly profitable for the South, to also have special protections.

Similarly proposing this for Pacific North West whiskey as well, who produce single malt whiskies as well.

We might as well open it up to everyone and everything to ensure it is a good bill.

Yeah, we can make this bill much more all encompassing of all the different boozes.

These changes would be fine with me, though I would imagine the cost of these contests is negligible.

I do not have a preference on the duration. I suppose every four years is fair.

If you have this amendment proposal ready, please let me know. Otherwise, I can create an amendment to address this concerns.

Not that I oppose this idea, but I believe any additional alcohol-related contests should be handled in a separate bill. This one is rather extensive as-is.

Heres the frequency amendment. 24 hours to object.

Not that I oppose this idea, but I believe any additional alcohol-related contests should be handled in a separate bill. This one is rather extensive as-is.

Why create different statutes? This consolidates the legal code and in my opinion, we should open it up, for simplicities sake.

This bill is specifically about wine classification and contests. To introduce an entirely new subject matter, much less amend this into an omnibus bill for all alcohol-related contests, would constitute a total restructuring that I do not see as being faithful to the original proposal. If a majority of the Senate is in favor of scrapping this in favor of a yet-to-be-written restructured omnibus, then this legislation should be tabled so a new law can be introduced. Otherwise, we should address the concerns put forward by Senator R and bring this to a final vote.

Or instead of wasting time, you just amend the bill instead of harping on this.

It's your proposal, Mr. Governor.

If you have an amendment and a senator to sponsor it, we'll happily discuss it.

[Pyro]

It appears Senator R's amendment has been adopted, and active discussion has ended.

Once more, I motion for a final vote.

[West_Midlander]

I object.

Let's give the Governor a chance to introduce his amendments. I will sponsor any amendments that he wants to put forward to the effect of the causes/changes that he described in his comments in this thread.

Hopefully, the Governor can get back to us soon. If he is unable to craft such amendments alone we can work on them jointly. I would like to give the full Senate a chance to pass a comprehensive bill while we are on the subject of alcohol (wine) classifications.

Senator LT has also expressed interest in the suggested amendments and I believe we can work on this together.

[West_Midlander]

I have an amendment I am introducing.

This amendment realizes the regional fairness among judges that Mr. R was wanting to pursue. I think it's a good proposal. If anyone has any improvements, feel free. I thought 8-8-8-1 would be a good mix for the amendment since it's a number not divisible by three, thus equal regional representation is maintained.

I am also seeking to change the numbering of Article IV's points to maintain consistency in the bill.

I am going to try to work on further amendments this evening.

EDIT: To remove the previous changes from Mr. R's frequency amendment since I created my amendment based on that post.

Ok.

My amendment is adopted.

We have an amendment on the floor. 24 hours to object.

Then if there arent any more issues we can hopefully move this along soon.

As WM's amendment was introduced after the final vote motion (and objection), wouldn't the vote to end debate take priority?
