Northeast Assembly Legislation Introduction Thread

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Reintroducing, so that Governor Nix can sign it:

The Roscoe Conkling Equity Before the Law Act

1 - All fines issued to individuals in accordance with the laws of the Northeast Region will be indexed to personal income.

2 - Any person earning the median income for the region or less will pay all fines in full. Individuals earning more will pay an increased fine based on the following formula: [(personal income/median personal income) X standard fine].

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Why Hartford? We haven't decided on the capital yet.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Job Creation and Infrastructure Renewal Act

1. Half of the surplus funds from the Northeast Region's budget will go into a fund created by the regional government to support immediate and direct job creation through public works and infrastructure building.

2. The fund will be administered by a Committee for Public Works, the members of which will be selected by the Governor of the Northeast Region.

3. This act will not take effect unless there is a surplus in the regional budget.

4. This act will be automatically repealed once the regional unemployment rate is below 6% for three consecutive months.

Bump so I don't have to keep going to look for this.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Section 9 is just for my amusement, and I doubt it will last debate

Attaching my signature or whatever so we can get this thing going.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Bump, and also we're out of bills to introduce.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Bump.

But if the Governor is the Warden, then why would the Speaker be Hand of the King?

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

But if the Governor is the Warden, then why would the Speaker be Hand of the King?

Though the Lt. Governor is nominally second in command, the Speaker is really the one who makes sure legislation gets through the queue, just like a Hand would in the King's stead.

Oh, I'm aware of that. I was just thinking it's weird to call the Governor Warden and the Speaker the Hand of the King. Personally I support King for both of them, but you guys can do what you want - I don't care as long as I get a badass title.

I made the initial positions after "The North" in Game of Thrones. Cynic is being a bit more honest than me by making it a "Warden" instead of a King. Could do Hand of the Warden...Master-at-Arms possibly?

I'd almost forgotten about the Master at Arms. If the Speaker would prefer that title, I have no objection.

I don't object. Master at Arms it is.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Bump.
