The Robin Williams Memorial Suicide Copy-cat Prevention Act (Debating)

[Cranberry]

I would say we just leave the bill as is,and start a final vote, as I seriously doubt we will find something in that bill.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

The Act noted for consideration by Senator Yankee is too big and if we start pulling things out, we'll end up with some massive piece of legislation and I'm worried about this turning into Yankee/Duke 2.0.

[Cranberry]

So would you say we just leave it like that, and proceed further?

In fairness, Yankee/Duke 2.0 is quite literally the name of the act

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Well indeed - but you get my point.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Technically a prior act should be 2.0 but it wasn't named such.

[Lumine]

Should we go to a final vote then?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

If Cranberry and Polnut are satisfied with the components contained therein (conditioning this based on the limited scope ), then I am ready to proceed as well.

[Lumine]

Senator Cranberry, Senator Polnut?

[Cranberry]

Please, go on. I'm very content with that version of the bill.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Let's move.

[Lumine]

Senators, a final vote has been started on this Act, please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.

[bore]

Aye

[Cranberry]

AYE

[TNF]

Aye

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Aye

[Lumine]

Aye.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

AYE

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

This can be ended.

[Lumine]

Indeed. With six votes in the affirmative and four not voting, the DYCOY Mental Health Reform Act Part II passes the Senate and is now presented to the President for his signature, redraft or veto.

Aye (6) Senator Bore, Senator Cranberry, Senator TNF, Senator Yankee, PPT Lumine and Senator Polnut.
Nay (0)
Abstained (0)

Not Voting (4) Senator Cassius, Senator JCL, Senator Cranberry and Senator Cynic.

Thanks for posting this, Lumine. I thought the title of this had been changed but wasn't sure and didn't want to sign the right bill in the wrong place.

I frankly do not have a strong opinion about this, but I recognize it as a useful measure. I'm not that knowledgeable about mental health issues, policy, and so forth, actually, and I remember needing to really do research on the matter the last time it came up. So this looks fine to me.
