    Looks good, though I think that the Region Clerk should serve for as long as he wishes, unless the Governor decides to replace him. Seems like doing it that way would cut down on formalities.
I dont like the Idea of life long appointments. I was thinking something that could possibly be added is that once apointed, the Region clerck would be confirmed by the House.

     Segwaystyle pointed out to me that the Northeastern CJO is appointed to a one-year term. Would doing the same for the Region Clerk be good as a compromise position?

That'll work with me if he/she is  confirmed by the House when appointed.

Agreed, the appointments should be for  along as the person wants to do it.

     I'm fine with that. As such, I offer an amendment to change clause 3b to read: "The Region Clerk shall be appointed by the Governor at the beginning of his term, subject to the approval of the Southeast Legislature, and shall serve for a term of one year."

Because we would be allowing both the HAEVs and the HAEV-nots (pun intended) to vote in elections, would the Regional Clerk have to keep their own registered voter roll in case it differs from the DoFA?

     I think we should leave a couple days for more debate & to see if anyone has issues with my amendment to it. We will probably have plenty of time to get stuff done around here.

     Yes, per clause 3a.

     Introduced on the behalf of the Governor:

Fair Voting Requirements Act

3. An office known as the Region Clerk shall be created.
3a. A Southeast Voting roll shall be created, independent of the SoFA, kept up to date by the Region Clerk.
3b. The Region Clerk shall be appointed by the Governor at the begining of each of the Governor's term and shall serve two month terms.

I would also suggest maintaining the list of regional parties and their members be added to the Region Clerk's duties.

     Alright. So everyone can see, I have proposed that clause 3b be amended to read: "The Region Clerk shall be appointed by the Governor at the beginning of his term, subject to the approval of the Southeast Legislature, and shall serve for a term of one year."

     Do any of my colleagues have objections to this amendment?

I'd like to amend the Fair Voting Requirements Act:

4. There shall be a probationary period of one regional election before those who move to the region under the provisions of this Act are able to vote and hold office.

     Do you mean to say that someone who has been removed by the HAEV that comes to the Southeast will have to wait to be allowed to vote here? That might be wise, since if the HAEV removes a bunch of people & this is the only region to have such a law, they may end up all coming here.

That's exactly it, and exactly what I was thinking.

     What about Deldem's proposed addition of clause 4? If we include that, I would be comfortable with a final vote on the bill.

The Amendment is supposed to be voted with the actual piece of Legislation.

     That seems slightly odd, since in my time in the Senate some bills were altered into something completely different over the time they were on the floor. In that case, may I suggest that after the votes on amendments are finalized, legislators are given 24 hours to change their vote on the bill itself if they so choose?
