Mideast Assembly Thread

[California8429]

As the author of our new system of government Inks, is it correct for me to set up a new bill thread or just add your amendment and reopen debate on the current law's thread?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

It's technically a "new" law, so it'd get a new thread.

Going along with PiT in the IDS, I'd like to ask the Assembly to consider the following bill, written by Senator and Former President Lief.

As Dean of the Assembly, I will now accept nominations for Speaker.  I'll be away until Monday with limited access, so the vote will not be until Monday most likely.

[Swedish Rainbow Capitalist Cheese]

I nominate Inks.LWC for Speaker

[afleitch]

I nominate Inks.LWC for Speaker

Seconded

[The Artist Formerly Known As and Now Again Known As Ogis]

Inks as Speaker is fine by me.

more than fine by me.

When Inks is elected, who becomes Dean. All other 4 have not had consecutive terms. Do we go by overall seniority/presence in the Assembly since the foundation of the Assembly?

I knew I couldn't stay away from here for long!

Since all four other Assemblymembers are newly elected, it'll go by who swore in first, not overall seniority. Therefore, Swedish Cheese will be the Dean of the Assembly.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Having received the support of my four other colleagues, I don't think a vote is necessary.

Also, A-Bob, I believe I would still be Dean of the Assembly.

Now, anybody wishing to introduce legislation may do so.  As a reminder, any business being considered by the Assembly last session will have to be reintroduced if the Assembly wishes to move forward with it.

[California8429]

It's impossible you can hold both positions at once. I think tmth is right then that Swedish is next in line since he took the oath of office first. (correct me if I'm wrong) Not that it matters greatly.

What's your basis for saying you can't hold both?  It's been done in the U.S. House...

What's his U.S. House you speak of

Every Dean that has moved to Speaker (at least during my time here) has been replaced by the next in line. When I moved up, TC became Dean. And When you left for the Senate, there was question over if I or HW were next in line since he had the most consecutive terms while I had been in the Assembly longer, though I was out for one week. Since you are Speaker, Swedish would be next in line for Dean because technically, he has been here second longest.

OK, for the sake of expediency, I'll reintroduce legislation that was being discussed in the previous assembly. I'm not necessarily advocating the legislation.

There. Time saved!

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

i'm not sure what this means. did Ogis just change the bills from last session back to their original, unamended form?  and is he officially the sponsor of the legislation now?

Yes that's correct. He's reintroducing the originial forms, and he would become the sponsor. Governor tmth would not be able to be the sponor without multiple other non assembly members joining him.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Before I make the threads, Ogis, did you really want to start those bills at square one, or start where we left off with amended versions?

[California8429]

or even better, amended to the point where people approved.

Aka the amended version of the Alcohol bill and a halfish amended version of the Labor bill.

[The Artist Formerly Known As and Now Again Known As Ogis]

Yes, let's start with the amended versions, and move from there.

[afleitch]

Please note the following bill is tabled.

Third Mideast Abortion Statute


1: No abortions shall be permitted after the First Trimester without the positive consent of two qualified and registered physicians. No abortions shall be permitted after the 180th day of a pregnancy except in the cases of threat to the mother's health or a pregnancy caused by rape and/or incest.
2: Any individual who induces a prohibited abortion shall have any existing license from the Mideast Region or a subdivision thereof to practice a medical profession revoked for up to five years.
3: Any individual who induces a prohibited abortion shall be sentenced to up to one year in prison and/or a fine of up to $50,000. Any person knowingly facilitating the inducement of a prohibited abortion shall be subject to a criminal fine of up to $10,000 and/or six months in prison.
4: The Second Mideast Abortion statute is hereby repealed.

-----

Assemblymen please note that this bill is a 'compromise' between the existing statute and the first ststaue.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

is there an index of all standing Mideast statutes?
if not, I think it would be good to create one.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Go to the wiki --> Mideast Region --> Statutes at the bottom.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

I will be out of town until Sunday.  I expect Internet access, although I won't be on much, so the Assembly may run a little slower until Monday.  Although, this isn't too bad, since Agooji is out sick.  Other than what we have on the table now, I'll probably hold off on anything too important until he returns.

I'm back, but we can wait on the important stuff until next week, until you get back. Thanks for being so understanding
