Thank you Mr. Speaker.

This bill will make our Alcohol laws consistent with a good chunk of the developed world. There is no reason why one shouldn't be able to walk down the street and enjoy a beer, or enjoy alcoholic drinks when they visit the beach. The alcohol must still be enjoyed responsibly and harassing individuals or damaging property will not be tolerated. As long as you don't adversely impact others, you should have the right to drink at the place of your choosing (and there are a couple of common sense exceptions in the bill).

I have no problem with taking public intoxication off the books, if the person becomes more aggressive there are specific offenses to handle that.

I'm somewhat hesitant to completely remove restrictions on carrying open containers of alcohol.

Where it is still in place, the laws regarding public drinking also have an element of public safety outside simply a person getting drunk and causing a fight... since most alcoholic drinks come in glass containers, it also to limit injuries from broken glass.
 
So I'm happy to support the public drunkenness element, but I believe there are still good reasons to limit containers of alcohol in public.

-- Suspension of Assembly business--

Following the completion of the Debate time for the Bill currently before the Assembly, I  move that we convene an emergency session to compose a resolution condemning the terrorist attack in Nyman.

Can we just assume that the assembly passes a resolution condemning the incident/expressing solidarity with the wounded etc., provided there are no objections?

Period for debate on the previous Bill has ended.


Yes, I think that's a reasonable approach, but I believe we should actually have words.

I threw this together...

OK - all in favour say 'aye', I think the ayes have it, passed by acclamation.


Moving back to Rep Sbane's Bill, I would like to put forward an amendment.

Oh boy. Maybe we should just have a vote on Speaker Polnut's amendment? It is not ideal in my view, but it is acceptable and better than nothing. If the assembly is with me, I am ready to stand behind my original bill.

Alright, I withdraw the amendment.

Let's move to vote on this in it's entirety

Alright... apologies, I have glandular fever (mono) so my brain is not firing on all cylinders.

Right, voting has closed.

Ayes: 1

Nays: 1

Abstentions: 2

The Bill fails.

Sorry, I didn't have access to the internet this weekend.  Aye FTR.

Also, a tie doesn't mean the bill fails, it means it goes to the governor to break the tie.

And since Wormy didn't have access to the Internet this weekend, he couldn't remind me to vote on the bill.

Dangit.

OK.... that's an interesting insight on your relationship Morgan.

Actually, you're right, so, Governor.... go ahead.
