Title: 1004 - Signed into Law
Post by: Clark Kent on June 27, 2016, 09:52:57 PM

Currency Tactile Feature Act
1. All Atlasian dollar bills, including $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 notes, must carry the designation in Braille to make it possible for the blind people to determine the denomination.
2. The currency denomination must be recognized easily, thus the banknotes use full Braille blocks (or cells) of 6 dots. The $5 bill has one cell, with the $10, $20, and $50 denominations each having one more cell than previous. The $100 bill has two cells arranged such that there is a space of two empty cells between them.

Sponsor: Rep. Classic Conservative (F-TX)

Since there has been absolutely no debate at all, we will move to a 72 hour vote. Representatives may vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.

Okay, gents (and Ms. Evergreen) I deeply apologize for what i am about to ask but I do it with the best of intentions. I have been on vacation for the past week and did not see this had moved to the House. My plan was to add measures so that currency could be printed on a better material that is easier to read braille upon and also has much less ability to counterfeit. Also adding a couple of anti-counterfeit and beautification measures. But I didn't see this bill has come to the house, until the final vote.
Anyways, if you could vote nay so we could remake it, that'd be REALLY awesome. Again it's not a nay to the bill, just to it becoming law in its current form.

TL;DR VOTE NAY SO THAT WE CAN MAKE THIS BILL FABULAASSS

Well, seeing as how there's no House rules at this point, I can really just suspend the vote. Sorry everyone that's already voted.

I'm going to cancel the vote for now to allow Representative NeverAgain to propose his amendment.

3. All new bills will be plastic bills, made from a polymer materials because are harder to fake, recyclable, and two to three times more resistant to tearing. They also can print dots for braille much easier than current currency material.
4. New bills will be 6 different colors which will make our currency more distinguishable and also still be legible, red, white, blue, light green, yellow, and purple. Each color is to represent Atlasian Patriotism and each region.
5. New 'watermarks' (an optically variable shadow image) will be added to the bills that will represent famous Atlasian buildings in Nyman and nationally.
6. These new changes will be slowly substituted and rotated into currency by 2030.

For those that didn't understand the rationale for the redraft, it was to clear up conflicting dollar amounts. Nothing major has been added or subtracted to the legislation.

Aye!
