Sponsor: Harry S Truman

For the sake of simplicity, could the sponsor explain what changes or additions this amendment makes?

I assume this amendment removes what is currently Article VII, Section I? Here it is for reference:

If I support all the other amendments which this act proposes (not sure yet, I need to look over the changes), I will withdraw my Budget Flexibility Amendment.

The changes you posted make sense to me for the most part. I'll introduce an amendment reintroducing the constitutional amendments passed in the previous assembly.

My amendment:

Changes:
There is indeed a provision for the Lt. Gov to break ties in Article III, Section 5. But JCL's amendment put restrictions on the circumstances in which the Lt. Gov can break ties. I replaced Section 5 with the amendment passed by the assembly.

Additionally, an anti-inactivity amendment was passed. I don't see such a clause in the proposed constitution changes; it should be reintroduced in Article III.

However, I think both these passed amendments could be modified if we are to aim for a compact, easily understood constitution.

If Harry S Truman finds nothing wrong with the passed amendments, he may adopt my amendment without a vote as the sponsor of the bill.

I support both changes so I withdraw my amendment.
I want to see more Assembly members comment on this bill - it's too big a project for it to go unnoticed.

Is this changing, in any way, the amendment just ratified?
No. The wording is different but the 3 conditions in which a tiebreaker is allowed remains in place.

I'd like to keep the ballot initiative process.
Go ahead and introduce any amendments you think would improve the bill.

I will call a vote tomorrow if there are no objections.
If there are any parts of the amendment that would cause you to vote nay, say it now so we can still get it worked out.

I suggest removing the word exclusive and adding in something along the lines of "with assembly approval", to keep with tradition.

I agree with Truman and Windjammer, the bbalanced budget amendment should be repealed. I support shua's first two amendments.

I am calling a vote on Shua's first amendment to Article 3 (edit: and Article 1), which excludes the balanced budget amendment. Please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.

There does not seem to be any debate on the Governor's amendment so I will call a vote on it. Please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.
Also, I will call a vote on Shua's balanced budget amendment afterwards if he wishes.
