Yes, it is acceptable. I will support it, as the money ends up going to something I advocate very strongly. Good idea governor.

A stickler for protocol I am, I'm afraid. The new bill will come to the floor in due order.

Quote from: ♠♣♦Dan♦♣♠ on May 24, 2009, 09:37:17 PM
"Mideast Soldier Memorial Act"

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.
The vote is on the above bill.

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

The Mideast Marijuana Taxation Act

1. Whereas, the consumption of marijuana is legal, in accordance with FL 6-19, the Marijuana Legalization and Taxation Act.
2. There shall be a 10% tax increase on all marijuana substances in the Mideast
3. All money collected by this tax shall fund The Mideast Victim Compensation Act.
4. The 1% sales tax increase on gun purchases set in The Mideast Victim Compensation Act, is hereby repeal.
5. The Mideast Marijuana Legalization Statute is hereby repealed.
Debate on the above bill is open.

I had meant to raise this in the previous debate but had never got around to it within debate time - why exactly does the Mideast Marijuana Legalization Statute need to be repealed. To my mind repealing it may undo its effect on Regional Law, and thus criminalise marijuana as a matter of Regional Law.

Ah, I see what you are saying, I will accept removing number five from the Act as friendly.

It is accepted as friendly that Clause 5 is struck. Debate may resume. I remind colleagues that 24 hours of no substantive debate will be required before a vote is brought (just before they try to lobby me otherwise!)

On the "The Mideast Marijuana Taxation Act", I really like 3 and 4. Not too crazy on number 1, and I would like taxes to be increased even more on all marijuana. Overall, I encourage everyone to vote "Aye".

The 5th Assembly is hereby adjourned sine die. Its business is dismissed and its members mandates have now expired. The New Assembly is directed to swear-in.

As Dean, I assume the Chair to preside over the election of a Speaker. I have been nominated to continue in this role and will accept the nomination. A vote will be held in 24 hours unless Persepolis indicates that we need not waste the time.

Does that mean I have to reintroduce The Mideast Marijuana Taxation Act? Or is the vote for that still going on?

I would like to bring the following before the Assembly:

The Mideast Marijuana Taxation Act

1. Whereas, the consumption of marijuana is legal, in accordance with FL 6-19, the Marijuana Legalization and Taxation Act.
2. There shall be a 10% tax increase on all marijuana substances in the Mideast
3. All money collected by this tax shall fund The Mideast Victim Compensation Act.
4. The 1% sales tax increase on gun purchases set in The Mideast Victim Compensation Act, is hereby repeal.


Correct 4 to say repealed instead of repeal, and we have a deal.


I'm thrilled that the Mideast Soldier Memorial Act passed.

Bump, because Persepolis needs to vote for Speaker so we can move on to passing bills.
