This is actually HB 1146.

This is what I get for attempting to be productive at 5am

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Seriously missing the Whips now.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

More so because of the ability to do consolidated PMs addressing all matters pertinent to that day and also include follow ups where participation has lagged from some.

[fhtagn]

Anyway, it should go without saying (sadly we don't get to have nice things), but this still needs a sponsor.

[JGibson]

I am going to take up the reins to sponsor this bill.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Representatives have 48 hours to object to the assumption of Sponsorship.

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

We need some debate on this, too. Seems reasonable though

[VPH]

I'd like to get some input on this before writing an amendment, but I think there should be some kind of provision for English classes. Making sure refugees have an opportunity to learn the language would do a lot to promote social cohesion and lessen potential tension.

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

I approve of this bill since it aims to accomplish the goals of helping people living in the horrendous situation in Syria in a way that insists responsibility and accountability on our government's part. This bill also aims to not cause harm to our existing citizens' security and economy. I believe that Atlasia's diverse people are better suited to taking in these refugees than most other countries. This bill takes a excellent and intelligent approach to solving this issue.  I'm willing to vote on this bill as it is.

This is already in the bill.

[JGibson]

I am in support of my fellow colleague VPH's recommendation to include opportunities for refugees to learn the English language.

I didn't find it very specific. It's not a sticking point that makes me oppose the bill, but I find that there may not be resources in host communities, especially smaller towns. I'd like to see something that refers to a curriculum or sets proficiency as a goal. I'm afraid there's not enough accountability.

I'm pretty sure this is a typo, unless it is the intention of the Senate to settle the entire body of refugees exclusively within the territory Fremont.

In all other respects, this seems to be a good and needful bit of legislation; I would also support an amendment as proposed by Representative VPH to offer English language instruction to refugees.

I would presume it was consider a means of providing pork to the Fremont region, by the late Senator Barnes.

I offer the following amendment, because rhetorical accuracy matters:
