Mideast Assembly Thread

[California8429]

Mr. Speaker,

After the education bill passes (I would very much assume), will you be bringing up the regional budget bill you've been working hard on these past few months I assume?

Mr. Speaker,

After the education bill passes (I would very much assume), will you be bringing up the regional budget bill you've been working hard on these past few months I assume?

As long as there are no bills in regards to election systems in the Mideast.

[Purple State]

Would the Assembly be able to consider multiple bills at once? I am hoping to have action taken fairly quickly on the ConCon resolution to ensure that my administration can hit the ground running with the effort.

That sounds nice, but it would create a lot of confusion in the Assembly if we had multiple bills. If the Assembly thinks otherwise, I'd be open to trying it. I still think our best option would be a sub-board, but oh well.

I would encourage the Speaker and Assembly to quickly pass the ConCon resolution next, so the administration in waiting won't have to wait on our region to get it started.

If nothing else, I think we're ready for a vote on the education bill

Weighted Grades Amendment

Whereas: The Mideast government feels we need to take extra steps to encourage high school students to take challenging courses so that they may reach their full potnetial.
Be It Resolved:
Section One:
1. All public and charter schools in the Mideast region shall conform to a 4.0 grading scale system.
Section Two:
1. For every advanced placement course (AP) or honor course taken by a Mideast student in grades 9-12, student shall have an additional .25 to their overall GPA for the semester, assuming they receive a grade above C in the course.

This bill is now up for a vote with the following amendment accepted as friendly:

"Section 2.1 shall be amended to read:
For every Mideast student in grades 9-12, student shall have an extra 1.0 points added to each end of year grade in every Advanced Placement (AP) class in which they have received an end of year grade of at least a C."

AYE.

[useful idiot]

Aye

[HappyWarrior]

With that the Weighted Grades Amendment is passed and presented to the Governor for his signature.

Now does anyone have any other bills to put forward before I put up my budget bill?

[California8429]

Nope, I want your budget bill in before we do anything else in the Assembly mainly so we know what we'll actually have the money for and what we can cut, reform, etc.

Can we do the ConCon first just to get that out of the way? I believe Ben proposed it. There was also the regional judge bill which was introduced. I'm just suggesting bills that wouldn't take a long time to debate so we can get them out of the weigh.

the budget is going to take longer than anything...since we'll have to come up with our first ever budget

If y'all just introduce the ConCon resolution, and don't debate it, you could have that done with in like two days.

And both of those bill would potentially take 2-3 days. After those, we'll be able to focus the rest of the session on the Budget instead of trying to cram them in at the end of the session. The ConCon resolution more than anything needs passed now.

sounds good

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I'd like to just get the ConCon bill passed now; likewise with the judging.  The budget will take a while, and I think we shouldn't have to worry about other pending bills while debating it.

[HappyWarrior]

Could you guys repost those bills just for the sake of expediency?

Third Constitutional Convention Petition

The Mideast Region formally petitions the President of Atlasia to call a Constitutional Convention for the purposes of consolidation of the constitution and/or legislative reboot of the game.

THE MIDEAST CONSISTENCY IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE ACT

Article II, Section 2, Paragraph 3 of the Mideast Constitution is amended FROM:

"3.A nomination to the Superior Court shall only be held in the event of a need for the adjudication of a case pertaining to Mideast law within the Mideast region. The justice's tenure shall last only as long as needed to resolve the case at hand."

TO:

"3. A nomination to the Superior Court, unless terminated early by resignation or recall, or impeachment shall be subject to reconfirmation by majority vote of the Mideastern Assembly every third session of the Assembly after initial confirmation. Should the Assembly fail to take a vote on renomination of the Superior Court Judge during the session in which the judge is normally subject to reconfirmation, it will act as if the Judge is reconfirmed accordingly. "

[HappyWarrior]

We will now begin 48 hours of debate on the ConCon bill.  GO!

[Purple State]

Do it.

[HappyWarrior]

I'd now like to call for a vote on the ConCon bill.  If there are no objections:

AYE
