Third Trimester Abortion Ban Act
Sponsor- Lt. Governor Hobbes

1. All abortions in the third trimester, except for cases of rape, saving the life of the woman, and protecting the health of the woman, are hereby outlawed in the Pacific Region.

2. Any person who performs an illegal third trimester abortion will be sentenced to at least eighteen months in prison.



Are there any other suggested Amendments?

This seems to be a very good compromise (including a health exception, in particular).

Aye.

Voting on the Third Trimester Abortion Ban Act has closed.  The final vote is 4 Yes, 0 No, and 1 Abstention.

This Act has passed.

The Governor will now sign the bill into law.

I will now open voting on our second piece of legislation, a minimum wage law.  As you know, our nation's minimum wage was struck down by the Supreme Court, and as a result teenagers everywhere cannot afford the latest Gwen Stefani CD.

In my campaign, I pledged to establish a minimum wage and I now hope to fulfill that promise.  I introduce the following bill:

Minimum Wage Act

1. The minimum hourly wage shall be set at $7.00 per hour


I hereby open debate.

I propose the following amendment:

2. The minimum wage shall be indexed to inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index. Any change in the minimum wage shall take effect at the beginning of the next fiscal year.

Do I correctly understand the amendment means that the new wage will take effect Jan. 1 of 2006 at $7 and then in Jan. 1 of 2007 would be adjusted for inflation?

With no further debate occurring, I will introduce for a vote this version of the bill unless there is objection:

Minimum Wage Act

1. The minimum hourly wage shall be set at $7.00 per hour

2. This wage shall increase annually commensurate with the rate of inlfation as measured by the CPI

      a. Adjustments based on inflation shall take place at the start of each fiscal year.

3. This minimum wage wage shall take effect On January 1, 2006


I know this isn't with the exact amendments proposed, and if anyone really objects they can, I'm just rying to get this voted on, the abortion bill seemed to be on the floor for 3 weeks.

I think it should be a little lower, but nonetheless I vote Aye.
