Sponsor: Vern
Designation: If I understand the new rules correctly, this is SB17-01 unless we're re-numbering past bills, right?

[Lumine]

I'll need Yankee's greenlight to be sure the number is not wrong (it probably is), but in the meantime this needs a sponsor.

[Lumine]

Vern is recognized as sponsor. Any comments on the bill, Senators?

[Lumine]

It's been ten days, gentlemen. I'll push for a vote on this soon if there aren't further comments.

[Lumine]

The amendment has been adopted.

[Lumine]

I'll be giving 48 hours for final feedback and then we'll move into a final vote assuming there's no amendments or a wish for extra debate.

I'll be giving 48 hours for final feedback and then we'll move into a final vote assuming there's no amendments or a wish for extra debate.

That's a rather long 48 hours I must say.

Aye, I have the most unusual perception of time in the entire Republic.

Gentlemen, a vote is open. Please vote AYE, NAY or ABSTAIN.

[Lumine]

This bill has enough votes to pass. 24 hours to change votes.

[Lumine]

The bill passes! Since it was amended, it will go to the House.
