You know, 72 hour debate period, etc., the usual.

[Pragmatic Conservative]

I enthusiastically support this amendment, it is essential that all workers are held to the same minimum wage regardless of whether they regularly receive tips.   

[Enduro]

Quick question, just making sure I'm reading right, but would this be excluding tips from any minimum wage law?

Somehow Goldwater removed a bold from the text.

And preserve the damn links/signatures at the bottom.

No I didn't, the PM you sent me looked like that.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Yea, you are right. I did remove the bold part accidentally. 


But you removed the Senate Vote and PPT signature, which I made sure to include. Also helps with helping the Reps understand the changes being made, if they can easily click to the Senate debate thread.

Fair enough.

[Representative simossad]

This is a good bill, and it has my full and unlimited support.

[Blair]

Thank you Mr Vice President for introducing this bill.

The Act basically expands the the minimum wage growth rate to reach $11.10 by 2020.  I'm aware that section 2 (the tax credit) could do with some cleaning up (considering I wrote it about 3 months ago ) So if any reps have amendments I'd be happy to take them for that

[Senator Spark]

I oppose this amendment due to encouragement of our youth to attain lower paying jobs instead of choosing higher paying jobs. I see no necessity for a living wage since these jobs should be only temporary and not to support a family.

Er, I'm not sure which region's assembly you are in, but this isn't it.

[OneJ]

I have to say, I'm in favor of this bill for the most part. The wage is sizable enough in my opinion and I also agree with abolishing the tipped rate. My only concern is that what about certain areas that may need to have a lower wage than the rest of Atlasia?

My apologies, I'm from the Lincoln Region.

If a citizen of this nation wants to express his/her views on a bill, we shouldn't stop them.

Oh yeah, I agree. I apologize if I came off as trying to prevent citizens from speaking their mind, that was far from my intentions.

[Potus]

First of all, that EPI graphic is bogus. It's agenda-driven advocacy research.

The tipped wage is really important for restaurants. No one makes less than minimum wage, even if they take tips. Educate yourselves.

They're not suppose to, but as the WSJ reports...

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The tipped rate has become an area of concern for almost every bill on this subject that I have been present for.

[Goldwater]

Right, so we ready to vote on this?

[OneJ]

I motion a final vote on this bill.

[Goldwater]

Okay, let's do this. Voting will last 72 hours or until all members have voted. Please vote AYE, NAY, or Abstain.

[OneJ]

Aye
