SENATE BILL: Public Intoxication Act (Redraft Passed-Law'd)

[TNF]

Aye

This is a worthwhile bill, but I certainly wouldn't mind duke vetoing it so more work can be done on it.

If this is the case for you as well, shua, I ask that you please change your vote. A redraft and more time for debate is better than letting a bill that would do a lot of real good die here.

If the president indicates an interest in redrafting this so as to strike the parts about open containers and consumption on public transit then I will change my vote.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I am willing to redraft if most here have an issue with section 2. I just want to make sure we aren't needlessly arresting people for being intoxicated in public if they are harming no one, and I understand allowing it on public transit may put others in harms way.

I've been hammered on plenty of buses/subways before, I would know. Drinking is my speciality after all.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

I will change my vote to Aye.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

One vote short of 6 ayes here.

[President Tyrion]

I'll change my vote to Aye in anticipation of a redraft

[Cincinnatus]

This bill has enough votes to pass.  Senators have 24 hours to change their vote.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

What exactly do we want to redraft here? Just clarify that municipalities can ban open containers in public places?

Well, since no one wanted to chime here on the main concerns, here is my redraft. Essentially, I don't want to tie the hands of regional governments to legislate laws in areas where the public may be at risk when drunks go wild, but I do agree arresting someone mainly because they're intoxicated in public, yet not hurting anyone, is silly.

I am fine with more debate if my redraft has issues. Since no one said anything, I did my best to change what I wanted to see changed.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Sponsor, Vote on Redraft or Withdrawal?

[TNF]

I motion for a vote on the redraft, and encourage the Senate to pass this bill.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Sorry Duke, I was going to respond but then forgot. But yeah, that looks fine.

[Cincinnatus]

A final vote is now open on the underlying redraft.  Senators please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.
