Asking UC to void normal debate rules and proceed to an immediate final vote, which shall close once it has achieved the minimum required number of Aye votes, so this can go on the ballot along with this weekend's special.

Though the idea behind the amendment last session was good, the fact is that in this rapidly shifting environment we must move quickly to address issues.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

I'll probably push to amend this back soon enough, but for now it makes sense to avoid having seven referendums or whatever all held up and bundled in June.

[S019]

I agree to unanimous consent, while there are valid arguments about turnout having amendments sit in limbo for 2 months makes little sense.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

No objection having been raised, we will proceed to a vote on this amendment.

Aye

[NewYorkExpress]

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

3-0, 1 not voting, this goes to the people this weekend.
