Mideast Assembly Procedure for LEgislative DEbate and Voting (MAPLEDEV) has passed.

Aye-5
Nay-0

The only question I have is does this go to the Governor's desk? It is a matter of internal Assembly affairs so I'm not sure if he needs to sign it Consitutionally. Does anyone know legally how this needs to be worked out?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Introduced on behalf of the Governor:

The Bake Sale Act

No municipality or jurisdiction, within Atlasia, shall deny recognized organizations or school-sponsored entities from selling wares which shall be legally offered within Atlasia on the grounds of any public educational facility in areas outside of any classroom, but within and upon school grounds provided that such transactions are for purposes of fundraising for the specific organization in question. Any municipality or jurisdiction prohibiting such action by regulation is hereby enjoined from enforcing such ordinance or regulation if enforcement shall contradict any of the provisions specified in this act.

I actually created it as a federal law, but then reckoned it'd be better at the regional level, so all of the "Atlasias" would need to be changed to "Mideast region".

Yes, of course. We can't talk about "Atlasia" when we're only one region (that is, we can't apply our own, regional laws to the entire nation, of course!)

Do we need the Governor's signature on MAPLEDEV?  I think it could probably be passed as a resolution, but would that make it carry over when our sessions end?

[Junkie]

In my opinion, the MAPLEDEV does not need to be signed by the Governor.  It is a set of rules for the Assembly imposed by the Assembly.  As such, it would have to be passed again at the beginning of every session as the rules that session will be run by.  Making it a statute signed by the Governor makes it law -- which would require a statute to overturn as opposed to a simple changing of the Assembly rules.

And in regards to that Town Board member who called the cops on 13 year olds selling cupcakes -- I want to punch him in the balls.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Well, since I didn't specify it as a resolution, my opinion would be to have the Governor sign it... once that happens, we can get going with implimenting it, so that we can start knocking off all these bills that are piling up!

[California8429]

The Governor has signed it into law and I have created the first threads.

Announcement

Voting is open on the Bakesale final version of the bill, and on a very important firearms bill amendement. Please vote ASAP on these so we can get the bills finalized by the end of the session.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Everybody, sign in!

[California8429]

Does TC open the vote for speaker since he was Dean last session after I became Speaker?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

That works... we don't really have specific rules for doing that, so whatever you guys want to do is fine...

[California8429]

While waiting for Junkie to swear in, and after consulting tmth, since officially we have no Speaker with this new session, this puts me back into the position of Dean of the Assembly. Therefore, I will open up nominations for Speaker of the Assembly.

[RIP Robert H Bork]

I nominate A-Bob.

[Junkie]

Singing in.  Sorry, had to work and then the lady made me go Christmas shopping. Ready to work.

[California8429]

Great. Now that we're all here are there any further nominations before this is brought to a vote?

[California8429]

Since everyone has been online very recently and had the chance and have viewed this thread, I will move forward to a vote in order to get on to our regular business.

Voting for Speaker will last for 48 hours or until every Assemblymember has voted. Please vote for an Assemblymember or Abstain from voting.
