Mideast Pornography Statute II

There having been no substantive debate in 24 hours, the vote is on the bill above.

The Ayes have it. The Ayes have it.
The bill is submitted to the Governor for his signature or veto.

The Mideast Marijuana Taxation Statute

1. Whereas, the consumption of marijuana is legal, in accordance with FL 6-19, the Marijuana Legalization and Taxation Act.

2. A sales tax of 30% will be collected on any marijuana sale.

3. The Mideast Marijuana Legalization Statute is hereby repealed.

I would like to ask the Speaker if we can have a vote to table this. Currently, the senate is already raising the tax on marijuana, we don't need to.

There has been a motion to table which I shall deny on the grounds that it will be defeated - Whilst I am undecided on the bill, I would not vote to table and Persepolis has also indicated he would vote against it. Debate on the bill should proceed.

[Fine...I Made This More Civil]

As the bill stands now, I stand for it completely.

Because the Mideast Assembly gives thanks for all the Soldiers who have fought for our nation the following will be built in their honor:

1: A Memorial shall be built in the Mideast Capital, College Park to honor our Soldiers who lived in the Mideast.
2: The cost of the Memorial shall be paid by the Mideast Government.
3: The building of the Memorial shall start as soon as the Act is passed and signed by the Mideast Governor.

[Devilman88]

Also since this is a new Assembly term we need to go ahead and elected a Speaker.

Sorry that I have allowed things to slip in the past couple of days.
The vote is on the above bill.
There will be a vote for a new Speaker at the beginning of the new term on Friday. As Dean of this Assembly, I will again assume the Chair for this purpose. My usual status of being a candidate if members wish me to be applies.

Hello, Bayh

Welcome to the Mideast Assembly Thread. If you have any ideas on a bill that you would like the Assembly to work on with you are debate, just post it. I believe we have one bill in the queue(I think I spelled that right). But we will be glad to work with you on any bill or idea you have.

Is there a list of bills that are currently in the queue?
And how serious are the bills? Can you introduce major things (such as a ban on abortion), or is it silly things (banning llama's from restraunts).
And can anyone vote, or only, assembleymen?

The Speaker of the House (Peter) is currently keeping a personal list of bill that are in queue, but the only one we have now in queue is this:

"Mideast Soldier Memorial Act"

3: The building of the Memorial shall start as soon as the Act is passed and signed by the Mideast Governor.

To your question about what type of bill you can introduce, they can be anything. Most of them are bill dealing with real life things. Like this is one of the bills that just passed the Assembly:

You can go here and read all the bill the Mideast has passed.

Currently only Assembly member can vote in the Assembly, but any Mideast citizen(which would be you), can introduce bills and put in there input in on bills.

Only assemblymen, obviously.

Anyway, they actually passed an abortion ban recently (which is actually more lenient than I would prefer but still).

Sweetness.
How do you run to become an assembleyperson?

I'm liking the "Mideast Soldier Memorial Act". I assume it doesn't have much opposition?

Umph.

When is the next election for Assembly? And how many assemblypeople are there?

[Devilman88]

The next election for the Assembly is July, but one of the Assembly member will be elected to the senate in June, so if you became active the Governor Inks may pick you to replace that member.

Also, we haven't discuss that bill yet, so I don't know how the other members feel about it.

Why are there so many elections?
And are you allowed to campaign for a position? I mean, I see that people have a HQ, but is that all you can do?

Well, I'm not going to run yet. I don't have enough experience.
Does the RPP have a candidate for each office?

Currently the RPP holds one Assembly Seat and the Governors office. The DA holds one Assembly Seat the the Regional Senate seat. Currently the DA and RPP are running candidates to replace the open Regional Seat.

Sweetness.
I wish I would have gotten involved in this sooner. It seems really fun.
So, someone might have answered this, but do you have to be an assembleyperson to introduce a bill?
