The first matter of business is the swearing in of the Representatives.

Deldem is away at this time, so we will be unable to begin business immediately.

Can we start introducing legislation now, or do we have to wait until all of our members are sworn in?

It would be recommended you form some sort of Standing Rules for the body so that the sequence of things is orderly.

So everyone can see, I would like to introduce this bill when the legislature begins official business
End To Regional Aggression Bill
1. The Southeast Militia shall be officially disbanded, effective immediately upon passage of this bill.
2. The Southeast Militia may be reconstituted by the Governor, subject to the approval of the Southeast Legislature, should he deem it necessary for the protection of the citizenry of the Southeast.
3. The citizenry of the Southeastern region shall reserve the right to petition for referendum on any order by the Governor of the Southeast to reconstitute the militia.
4. The transport of prisoners to the Pacific region in accordance with the Suck it Pacific Act of 2010 shall be suspended permanently, effective immediately upon passage of this bill.
I will no longer introduce this bill, as I have been informed that Governor Jbrase has revoked his two executive orders that created the bulk of the controversy.

The original act remains, does it not? If you repealed that, we could put it all behind us and resume full trade and transportation.

Good point. I'll just introduce a bill to repeal the original act then.

Thank you. I will wait until we get preliminary business done with to introduce it, though, so it does not get forgotten down the line. I only introduced the first version now because I did not want any silence on the issue to be interpreted as support of the Southeast Militia meandering around the Pacific region.

Thinking more about it, an emergency initiative can be declared, so repealing the Suck It Pacific Act of 2010 can be voted on as soon as possible. Alternatively, Governor Jbrase could issue an executive order suspending it indefinitely, so the legislature can get around to it later.

It is already suspended, but to end it quicker I'll just start an emergency initiative.

Thanks for waiting the last few days, I didn't get home until late Saturday night and was swamped with all the work I had to make up from the previous three days on Sunday.

Alright. I suppose we should start by discussing & voting on the standing orders if the Lt. Governor has them ready?
