Sponsor: TSA.

I'm a bit unsure as whether TSA's resignation is formal or not (not sure if it requires a formal post on the Swearing in of New Officeholders thread). If it is, this will need a new sponsor.

[Blair]

I'm being lazy in not finding the bill itself; but I'm convinced we've already passed a similar bill to this

[Mr. Reactionary]

And if not I was going to introduce one next month anyway.

[Blair]

I think some of this stuff falls into the category of quite radical policy stuff that I managed to do as President without anyone really opposing it.

Good lord, we actually got rid of private prisons?

[Mr. Reactionary]

Not to be a buzzkill but:

Did that law purport to just take over existing private prison facilities without payment? Thats a taking which requires just compensation.

Also 3 months is a wreckless amount of time to expect to transfer all prisoners.

And sec 1, par 2 has typos.

[Lumine]

Given the past bill that was passed under Blair, I'd like to motion to table. I'll need a seconder before a vote to table can be opened.

In the meantime, there's 72 hours for any Senator to assume sponsorship.

[_]

I second the motion to table.

[Lumine]

Senators, we will now vote on the motion to table. Please vote AYE, NAY or ABSTAIN, we have 48 hours for this.

[Lumine]

Aye.

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

Aye

[Pericles]

Aye.

[_]

Aye

[Lumine]

With 4 votes in favor this bill is tabled and removed from the Senate floor.
