Nay

Your complaint was addressed by your own amendment, and you still vote Nay. Wild.

A detail I realized after the vote started is that as written, this applies to "individuals" not adults, so this seemingly abolishes age of consent. It appears this was a detail I forgot to include in my amendment. Of course by that time, the final vote was already open so I could not further amend this, but I plan to in the next session if people who didn't actually read the bill decide they want to pass it with the knowledge they are endorsing pedophilia.

The bill states as follows:

a. The above shall not apply to any law or regulation prohibiting forced, polygamous, incestuous, or non-consensual sexual conduct.

Section II-2 does not apply to the prohibition of non-consensual sexual conduct. Minors cannot consent, thus this does not impact standing regulations concerning child abuse, etc.

2. No region, state, or local government may enact a law or regulation that infringes on any individual's right to enter upon consensual sexual relationships in the confines of their homes and their own private lives, including relationships between individuals of the same sex.
a. The above shall not apply to any law or regulation prohibiting forced, polygamous, incestuous, or non-consensual sexual conduct.

3. The Attorney General may commence a civil action on behalf of the Republic of Atlasia against any region, state, or local government that violates, or against any government official that implements or enforces a law or regulation that violates subsections (1) or (2).
