The floor is now open for debate.

I'd like to thank Legislator Peebs for bringing this forward.  It was something the regional committee suggested we should decide on ourselves.

I think Chamber of Delegates would be pretty cool and a unique name.  Uniqueness I think attracts more people to the region.  That said, there are a lot of other potential names we could have other than "Legislature."  We could be an assembly, parliament, house, council, or maybe other things too.  Hopefully everyone will think it over.

Voting is now closed.  The AYEs are 2, and the NAYs are 1, with 1 ABSTAIN, and 1 not voting.  The AYEs have it, and the amendment is agreed to.

Is "Assembly" the name people support then?  Or is this vote just saying that you like it better than "Chamber of Delegates?"

[Anna Komnene]

I'll grant the motion because maybe Governor PiT statement changed the situation?  Though in the future, I'd rather not have re-votes on amendments without a clear explanation as to why we should do that.

We will now vote on dfwlibertylover's motion to amend the bill back to the original form as introduced by Legislator Peebs.  Members will vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.  This will be a 24 hour vote.
