I now open debate on this bill.

[Wisconsin+17]

CoMs are an unnecessary health care monopoly. We should eliminate them allowing people to open up more private clinics.

[Leinad]

I think it's important to get rid of red tape like Certificate of Need laws--these are laws, usually in the medical field, that make it harder to expand facilities such as hospitals, and can be used to ensure monopolies. I don't see much of a reason to keep these restrictive laws on the books.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I can get behind this bill.

[Wisconsin+17]

That's a majority. I will nominate the bill for a vote, unless Leinad would like to permit more debate...

I can't just go to a final vote with only 2/5ths of the Chamber in favor. I've been operating under the (logical) understanding that I need to leave some time for either a majority to support a final vote or someone to object.

What do you mean? You as the sponsor support it, Pit supports it, Ben Kenobi supports it...

Well I have no official indication that PiT supports going to a final vote immediately. I'd presume he does, but I don't think it's proper to act on those presumptions and move to a final vote, especially when two members haven't said anything on the matter.

If I'm doing this wrong, I'd love to be instructed on the correct method.

To be honest, the rules are really flexible, it's always up to the Speaker.

[Leinad]

I now open a final vote on this bill, for 48 hours or until all members have voted or either the bill's passage or it's failure become mathematically impossible.


Aye

[Associate Justice PiT]

     In my experience two supporters for a motion is typically enough for a parliamentary body, but it is also typical to allow a waiting period (no more than 24 hours) for people to object to the motion.

[Leinad]

With 4 votes in favor, this bill passes the Chamber and is now up for Gubernatorial approval.

I had to think about this one some, but as part of my lifting restrictions promise:
