LGC 15.3 - The Protect Children's Mental Health Act (Statute)

[KoopaDaQuick 🇵🇸]

While I do appreciate the sponsor being willing to include an increase in suicide prevention resources, you can go even further by removing the prohibition of gender affirming care for youth, which reduces the risk of suicide by 73%. If your goal is reducing suicide rates, that's a strong step forward. Vote Aye on DKrol's amendment if you haven't already.

[Mechavada]

Aye on Dkrol amendment.

Nay on BigZuck amendment.

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

All members have voted.

Bigzuck amendment fails 1-3-0-0

Dkrol amendment passes 3-1-0-0

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

For reference, the current bill.

The Protect Children's Mental Health Act

To protect the mental health of children

1. The regional government of Lincoln shall allocate to every school district within the region a $500,000 grant for the school district to invest into anti-bullying and suicide prevention resources for all students.
2. This bill shall take effect the day after it is either signed into law by the governor, or the governor's veto is overridden.

[DKrol]

I move for a final vote.

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

72 hours has not passed, but I will motion to suspend the rules to allow for an early final vote. 24 hours to object

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

No objections being heard, we move to a final vote for 48 hours.

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

Aye, since all the anti-trans stuff was cut out and this just focuses on mental health

[BigZuck08]

Aye, although I'm disappointed over 80% of my bill was cut out, it's still a good bill.

[HB]

Aye

[Mechavada]

Aye

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

Bill passed 3-0-0-1. Mechalord's vote was 3 minutes late, unfortunately. This will be sent to the governor.
