Regulatory Overhaul and Review Act (Debating)

[Lumine]

I know the objective of such a proposal would be to simplify the process, but as inefficient as bureaucracy can be somethings I don't believe that would truly solve the issue. I'm certainly not confident that random selections could bring positive results, and using "plain english", as much as it makes it easier to understand, probably opens a massive problem regarding ambiguity, perhaps worse than what we see in the Constitution right now.

Are there unnecessary regulations? Of course, there's a great amount of them and Atlasia has passed some unnecessary ones over the past few years as well that probably need to be revised and some eliminated outright, but I do fear this particular process would be something far beyond our capabilities, even I understand that Deus is trying to make the process go faster. Perhaps a Senate committee in charge of reviewing some regulations would be more feasible... (Although committees haven't been used on the Senate in quite a while)

The amendment has been adopted.

What should be next here?

Sponsor, your thoughts on a final vote?

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Senators, a vote on the Regulatory Overhaul and Review Act is now open. Please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.

[Lumine]

Aye.

[Lumine]

This has enough votes to pass, Senators have 24 hours to change their votes.

[Lumine]

With seven votes in the affirmative, two abstaining and one not voting, the Regulatory Overhaul and Review Act passes the Senate and is now presented to the President for his signature, redraft or veto.

Aye (7) Senator Bore, Senator Yankee, Senator Deus, President Pro Tempore Lumine, Senator Cynic, Senator Cranberry and Senator TNF.
Nay (0)
Abstained (2) Senator Cassius and Senator Polnut.

Not Voting (1) Senator JCL.

[Lumine]

A redraft has been sent by the President and we will have twenty four hours to discuss it. Senator Deus, will you file a motion to go through a vote?

[Lumine]

Senators, a vote has started on the redraft of the bill by the President. Please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.

[Lumine]

Nay.

Regarding the procedure, if the redraft fails (and it seems that will be the case), it's up to the sponsor to send the bill to the President again (the version the Senate originally passed) or resume debate. If debate is resumed instead of sending the bill to the President's desk once again, then a motion to table would be possible. Or at least that's my interpretation, xD

[Lumine]

Without a simple majority achieved, the redraft sent by the President has failed the Senate.

Aye (2) Senator TNF, Senator Cynic.
Nay (4) Senator Deus, Senator JCL, Senator Yankee, PPT Lumine.
Abstained (3) Senator Polnut, Senator Bore, Senator Cranberry.

Not Voting (1) Senator Cassius.

Deus, you now have the option of sending the bill (pre-redraft) to the President's desk again or resuming debate on it. 

[Lumine]

Have we resumed debate, or what? This is very confusing.

We have, we're just waiting on Deus to offer an amendment to move forward.

[Lumine]

Senators have 24 hours to object to the amendment.

[Lumine]

The amendment has been adopted.

[Lumine]

Well, I support it, I think it's time for a final vote.

[Lumine]

Sponsor?

[Lumine]

Senators, a final vote has started on this. Please vote, Aye, Nay or Abstain.

[Lumine]

Aye.

[Lumine]

This has enough votes to pass, Senators have 24 hours to change their votes.

[Lumine]

This passes the Senate, and is now sent to the President for executive action.

Aye (4) Senator Deus, Senator TNF, PPT Lumine and Senator Yankee.
Nay (2) Senator Nix and Senator Cynic.
Abstained (2) Senator Polnut and Senator Bore.

Not Voting (2) Senator Cassius and Senator JCL.
