[President Punxsutawney Phil]

This bill was inspired by legislation proposed by an IRL TX State House Representative, and edited accordingly.
I have brought it to this floor as means of encouraging activity but to my disappoint no delegate has posted in this thread except me and 2/3rds of the posts are by the Governor, not by members of this chamber.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I'll PM every other delegate (sans Muaddib) in an effort to generate more interest in this and the other major bill on the floor.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Motion for a final vote.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Objection heard, the motion fails.
This was a "boost activity" bill and not a "personally advocated" type of bill anyway.
I'm all ears for suggestions to make it more specific.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Feel free to put forth amendments.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

The motion has not been objected to.

The vote to table is now before the floor.

Aye
