Voting time has expired.  The ayes are zero, nays are four, abstentions are zero, and non-voting members are one.  The bill fails.

The Assembly will now consider the legislation introduced by the gentleman from New York.  Debate will be for 48 hours.

I propose the Anti-Prohibition Act of 2012:

1) Complete decriminalization of all illegal drug substances
2) Repeal of gun control laws in the northeast
3) Complete legalization of prostitution

Since prostitution and drugs are already legal in the Northeast, this bill would incidentally only change one law in the Northeast, and that law would be the Northeast Gun Safety Act.  I would not support repeal of that because I believe the provisions in that law are reasonable and don't infringe on Second Amendment rights.  I oppose this bill.

This is an act to completely remove any government oversight on prostitution, guns, and drugs.  Basically this act shows that civilians have a constitutional right to complete privacy on these matters.

Debate time has expired.  Members will now cast their votes on passage of the legislation.  This will be a 24-hour vote, and this will also be the last bill considered for this session.

I propose the Anti-Prohibition Act of 2012:

1) Complete decriminalization of all illegal drug substances
2) Repeal of gun control laws in the northeast
3) Complete legalization of prostitution

By the way, Mr. Speaker, what happened to my "line of succession act"?

That will not be considered until the following session after the Speaker is selected because this session is almost over.

All right, so will I have to re-introduce that and my Tax Compromise in the next session?

Assuming you're elected, yes.

All members have cast their votes.  The ayes are three, nays are two, abstentions are zero, and non-voting members are zero.  The bill is passed.

This body is now adjourned.

No, actually. Confirmation of Scott as Senator and the nomination period for the Speaker position should begin immediately.

And it will.. once we correct the oversight that you pointed out by swearing in today.

We will now begin nominating a Speaker for this body.  Simultaneously, we will vote on Scott's confirmation in order to get started as quickly as possible.

I'll accept the nomination.  I also vote Aye regarding Scott's appointment.

FTR, the nominating period is meant to be 24 hours, as is the vote regarding Scott's appointment.  Please participate in both before 9:00 tonight.

I vote aye to Scott's appointment, and vote for Cincinnatus for Speaker.

Thanks, but I meant just the nominations and the confirmation of Scott.. we'll move on to a vote for Speaker after the nominating period is over Smiley

Aye for Scott's appointment.

Please clarify why we have to vote on this since he won the Senate election.

Napoleon vacated his seat upon swearing in as Governor.  Therefore, the seat is currently vacant because Senators won't swear in for a while.
