SC: Southern Task Force to Combat Human Trafficking Act (Statute)

[Santander]

I support the bill in principle, but I'd just like to discuss the financial aspects of the bill. What is the estimated economic impact of the tax refund, and are the expenses in Section 4 one-time expenses or annual expenses?

[Santander]

Section 5 is what's keeping me on the fence at this point. I would prefer a "tough on crime" approach and introduce possible criminal charges against businesses who knowingly conduct business with entities that engage in or abet human trafficking or fail to report witnessed acts of human trafficking. Is there any example of an existing program where a modest tax rebate results in positive reinforcement of the desired voluntary behavior?

[Santander]

You cannot block voting on the bills of others while calling votes on your own. Follow proper parliamentary procedure.

[Santander]

First of all, you blocked me even calling the question. Nobody is disputing your right to call the question, but you cannot get a vote on your own. Nobody even seconded your motion.
