Oh joy. Bad news, guys. I'm going to be overrun with work this week, and next week is the final week of rehearsals for a musical I'm in, so I won't be able to be very active in my speakership for a little while. I'll still be around, but have patience with me is all. Thank you

Not if he's both Speaker and Lt. Governor, IIRC.

Joy. I'll do all I can as speaker in the time I have, and when these two weeks are done I'll have much more time for more activity. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I think the Responsible sports act was put to a vote too quickly. I think according to 3g) in the soap, debate time has to be a minimum of 36 hours.

Probably, but we already had all five of our representatives agree that the bill was a good idea. Waiting to put it to a vote would have been a waste of time since literally everyone backed it and were twiddling their thumbs waiting to approve it.

Just for the record, as there are so many different stages of the soap, with different amendments included etc, I thought I'd post the most up to date version which should probably either be included on the wiki, or have the SOAP link in the civic information thread come here.

It might be worth legislating a fix to this problem.  There needs to be a mechanism wherein someone else can act as Presiding Officer while the Speaker is on LOA/away, ect.  The Lt. Gov was supposed to me this mechanism, but it's too common that the Speaker and Lt. Gov are one in the same.

As to how this could be created, it might have to be a constitutional amendment, but I haven't looked into this issue very much, yet.

Yes, but how do we pass that without a speaker, you know what, is there are no objections I am going to act as informal speaker until Spenstar comes back.

I support Snowball's interim role and believe the order of succession could be cited to support this move should it be challenged.

Would this be legally watertight?

Just to clarify this is a proposed amendment, not the actual law- I'm not sure if there is anything in the constitution about an absent speaker.

So Snowball just made up his own procedure and went on his merry way?

I second Senator Nix's opinion.  We need an active Assembly.

Mr. Speaker (if you eventually return), Earthling has been appointed Secretary of Labor and awaits Assembly confirmation.
