SB 2016-026: A Real Living Wage Act (Final Vote)

[Senator Cris]

Senator Cris, for clarification, does your amendment seek to remove Clause 3?

Yes.

Sorry for the presence of grammatical errors. It can easily be amended in the next days.

Aye

Should this pass, I will introduce an amendment (that will hopefully be friendly) to clean up the language a bit.

[Senator Cris]

Aye

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Nay.

[Pingvin]

Nay

[Blair]

Nay

[Prince of Salem]

Aye

[tmthforu94]

The vote is tied. Senators have 24 hours to change their votes.

[tmthforu94]

The amendment vote ends in a tie. I have notified the Vice President.

[Lumine]

I've been notified, looked at the discussion, and while there is extra work to be done on the bill I have a positive impression of the amendment. Aye it is.

[tmthforu94]

The amendment has passed. The bill now reads as follows:

It shouldn't be the Federal government's place to limit how much a city can vote to raise its own minimum wage.  I will not be voting for the bill in its current form.

[Blair]

This I believe would overturn bills that have been passed (or are in the process) of being passed in Freemont and the North. Major cities, like New York and San Francisco that have an absolutely high cost of living should have a right to set a $15 minimum wage.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

For now, I'm submitting an amendment to remove this absurd (and possibly unconstitutional) limitation.

Amendment is friendly

Did the other Senators apart from Scott have an objection to the tax credit amendment?

[tmthforu94]

Did the other Senators apart from Scott have an objection to the tax credit amendment?

I didn't - I actually originally misread Cris' post and didn't realize he was seeking to remove it. I'd support adding it back in.

New amendment:

Scott's first amendment is adopted. 24 hours to object to currently proposed amendment.

[Blair]

I motion for a final vote on this bill

[Kingpoleon]

I request the Senate maybe allow cities at or below a certain percentile of GDP per capita to have a lower minimum wage.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Five days of no debate.  I second Blair's motion.

I'm not quite sure how Kingpoleon's proposal would be laid out, so I suggest we vote on the bill as is and then the House can deliberate.

Fair enough. I was waiting to see if there would be discussion on that proposal but time slipped away.

We are now at a final vote. Senators, please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.


Aye

I will be following the House discussion on Kingpoleon's proposal.

[Terry the Fat Shark]

NAY

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Aye.
