People's Regional Senate

Sponsor: LouisvilleThunder
Senate Designation: SB18:03

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Same as before, the sponsor has 24 hours to commence an advocacy and the members shall have an additional 48 hours in which to response with their initial questions, comments, and concerns.

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

This bill cuts many regulations that limit efficiency in our government and in the daily lives of people.

[tmthforu94]

4. The regulation prohibiting the sale of pool heaters with a thermal efficiency less than 78% shall be decreased to 75%. 42 USC 6295(e)(2)

What is the justification of this?

6. The regulation requiring employers to physically display posters referencing federal minimum wage and hour laws, workplace safety laws, polygraph protection laws, Drug free workplace laws, Discrimination laws, and whistleblower protection laws, shall not apply to employers who:
     a. Distribute all information that is contained on the posters to each employee upon their initial hiring
     b. Maintains a website displaying all information that is contained on the posters
     c. Provides written notice to all employees whenever information contained on the posters is changed by law

I don't mind most of this, but I think workplace safety laws should still be required to be physically displayed as a constant reminder to employees. These posters are typically displayed in areas of factories that are at high risk for injury.

23. The regulation prohibiting school lunches from containing more that one (1) cup of lima beans, peas, potatoes, or corn kernals per student per week is hereby eliminated.************

What is the purpose of the **** at the end?


I will say, I read through the rest and don't have any objections at this time. There are some pretty substantial changes in here though, including legalizing sports betting and repeal of several notable education regulations, so I strongly encourage each Senator to read through each clause carefully before casting a vote.

As with the other bill, I intend to do a total markup when I have the time.

#4 is to reduce consumer costs. The cost of added efficiency is not fixed per unit. For example, with many products a 1% increase in efficiency may cost an additional 2% and then an additional 1% increase in efficiency can cost 7% more. Think of it as the rule of low-hanging fruit ... as you consume the easy gains at the bottom it begins to take more and more effort just to match earlier gains the higher you have to search for fruit.

#6 I am looking at this from an exclusively white collar professional background, but in every workplace Ive worked at, those posters were never somewhere where there is an elevated risk for injury (filing cabinets, break rooms, areas no one really goes). As I see it, this is compelled speech, and to avoid free speech concerns I always opt for less restrictive methods. In this case it offends me less to be forced to say something once and then provide physical copies to others than to be forced to permanently forever under pain of law attach the same compelled speech on my own property. That's almost a taking imo. I believe this proposal is better and still provides free notice and access to this stuff without unduly burdening the rights of employers.

# 23: That language appears to be from an earlier draft. The asterrisks meant I still needed to find the citation at the time. The correct language should read: 7 CFR 210.10 shall be amended accordingly.

[Mr. Reactionary]

1. HUD refuses to rate pre 78 mobile homes for safety. That doesnt mean they are always unsafe, Ive seen non-rate trailers that complied with the building code and new ones that dont. But because HUD wont rate the older ones, its almost impossible to even find someone willing to move one. We have a bunch in annexed land on the outskirts of my City and the owners often cant find anyone to transport them away because of the HUD stuff. This clarification is intended to at least facilitate transportation.

2. Is a pet peeve of mine where one random part of the CFR (federal law) is in question answer format and answers a question about exemptions by describing  a very specific situation that likely doesnt apply to 99% of persons asking the question and doesnt really provide any clarity.

3. This is just a feel-good reg that doesnt really accomplish much. I see these mandatory labels on lightbulbs with basically a calorie count for lightbulbs ... I have little context for the values, the labels have no impact on my buying patterns. Its just a regulation for regulations sake to say someone did something.

4. Described above.

5. Another weird thing from work I deal with. Housing provided by Section 8 vouchers is subject to annual inspections. The inspections use a weird formula that calculates a pass/fail score on the severity of damage but does not require all code violations to be corrected if the score is passing. In contrast I oversee a local rental inspection program, where we have designated districts where if you want to rent property you have to let us in to inspect for code violations every 2 or 4 years depending on the condition at the time of the inspection, and we also have the on-going power to require any and all code violations we see to be fixed. Due to federal issues, we don't also inspect Section 8 property, so very often we can have adjacent rental properties with identical code violations, but we only have right of entry to enforce at the non-Section 8 house. By adopting this change localities like mine could have the flexibility to ensure affordable housing is code compliant.

6. Discussed above.

7. If yall are interested I can try to find it, but I recall seeing this regulation in a story once where some man attempted to free a whale caught in a net and was later prosecuted even though it wasnt his net, because he climbed on top of the whale. Seems like we should have this necessity exemption.

8. Clarifies a long-debated issue dealing with the scope of OSHA's purview. I actually wrote a paper in law school that addressed this issue. Basically a regulatory scheme for preventing gross negligence and unsafe equipment at factories, OSHA should not be used to shore horn in a backdoor ban on guns on private property.


Late Edit:

9 adjusts how credit unions calculate debt (as in the right to collect on one and the resulting value) as an asset and sets a cap to be safe. As someone who collects debts, it should most definitely be treated as an asset; the issue is over valuation and discounting as debt collection is not easy. I think this is a good safe change.

10 Allows a credit union to invest deposit funds in itself but caps that at 10% of assets to be safe.

11 unnecessary added expense that does not contribute in any way to the solvency of the credit union or its assets.

12 Preempts Regional laws capping loan balance sheet sizes for credit unions

13 employee information should be private and not handed out willy nilly

14 repeals the constitutionally-suspect Highway Beautification Act which recent Supreme Court free speech cases have cast legal doubt upon.

15 deals with a stupid import rule. It is perfectly legal to own, buy, sell, and carry a handgun with a 2 inch barrel in Atlasia. It is perfectly legal to import handguns. However you cant import an otherwise legal handgun if it has a 2 inch barrel, but you CAN import 2 inch handgun barrels. So basically what people have to do is buy a handgun with a 3 inch barrel and also buy an accessory 2 inch barrel which is an added cost for an unwanted 3 inch barrel. Its clearly not decreasing those types of guns off the street as they are still perfectly legal over here.

16 restores what used to be a standard shotgun barrel size. This change will not affect in any way the existing NFA regulations for shotguns with a barrel less than 16 inches.

17 reforms the RICO Act be shortening the statute of limitations to avoid abuse

18 and 19 removes weak crimes from the RICO list to keep it from being applied to just any old criminal instead of actual mobs

20 protects free speech and protests in traditional public forums

21 This was a real thing. ATF has actually prosecuted FFL dealers for ONLY writing Y and N instead of YES and NO on certain forms. These are FELONY charges. That’s insane and this fixes that stupidity.

22 Slowly phases in mandatory E-filing of E-Rate applications. E-Rate is the federal welfare program that funds internet in local schools. If every applicant filed electronically it would save money.

23 Helps schools find funding without sacrificing nutrition. Its important for local schools to have that added flexibility.

24 removes federal involvement in what should be a local school districts decision

25 Similar to 23, more flexibility in choices of milk for students is advisable.

26 helps open up additional funding for student organizations through vending machine revenue. It should be a local schools issue

27 flexibility in local school curriculum. That should be a Regional issue.

28 flexibility in student discipline. That should be a Regional issue.

29 attempts to restore due process in colleges

30 mandatory attendance taking in an adult setting is burdensome, inflexible and unnecessary.

31 discussed above

32 reduces burdensome reporting requirements for stuff that has nothing to do with colleges

33 stops an unconstitutionally vague law

34 ever since this dumb reg was implemented it has reduced the flexibility non-profit colleges and universities have to design class structures.

35 this dumb reg forces non-profit colleges and universities to compile more burdensome paperwork to try and track down alumni and private information about where they work.

36 this dumb reg financially penalizes schools with smaller endowments. Harvard and Yale should not be held to a better standard just because a lot of rich people stash money there.

37 locks out students from enrolling in online classes unless they happen to live in the same State. As long as a State has accredited the school, I don’t see why we should limit student choice across State lines.

38 race-based lists of people have a horrific history and we should not be promoting it, let alone mandating it at the cost of all federal money.

39 We really don’t need to micromanage colleges on whether or not they talk to their students about torrenting.

40-41 If its posted online, and is otherwise enforced or available upon request, why should we create millions upon millions of paper notices to be physically handed to each student when they will then just immediately throw those notices away.

42 – 50 let the Regions decide on gambling as each region has legalized it

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Am I correct in my reading that number six requires all three alternatives to be used or just one of them as a means to avoid having to post the information perpetually?

[Mr. Reactionary]

Am I correct in my reading that number six requires all three alternatives to be used or just one of them as a means to avoid having to post the information perpetually?

I intended all 3 to comply.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Sorry. I thought I had finished the individual explanations last week. That list is now up.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Okay, I appreciate your work in providing us this information.

So my question to the Senators is with the information provided are there any remaining concerns, questions, or amendments coming in relation to those explanations?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Okay, I appreciate your work in providing us this information.

So my question to the Senators is with the information provided are there any remaining concerns, questions, or amendments coming in relation to those explanations?

Hello! Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone home?
Come on now,
...
You are receding
A distant ship's mark on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I cannot hear what your saying...

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

So I take it final vote then?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

You missed this one Ontario.

A final vote is now open on the Dumb Regulations Repeal 19, please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

AYE

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

Aye!

[Vern]

Aye

[Devout Centrist]

Nay

[ON Progressive]

Nay

[Mr. Reactionary]

So my question to the Senators is with the information provided are there any remaining concerns, questions, or amendments coming in relation to those explanations?

Apparently a few Senators cant be bothered with minutia like debate to explain their concerns. Well that or you have intimidated them into silence Yankee...

Either way, its a bad look like with the Worker Protection Act vote. Hopefully thus can still pass the Senate either with Comrade Funks vote or the Vice Presidents so that the Laborites in the House can actually discuss what the issue is and offer amendments rather than ratify the dereliction of duty seen here. At least in the House all the Laborite Representatives debate the bills or offer objections before voting no.

[Comrade Funk]

Can I just ask why do we need endless list of repeals that deal with completely unrelated problems? Why can't future deregulation bills be divided so we aren't voting simultaneously on gambling restrictions, firearms, marine life, credit unions, etc, etc? Imagine during the 2008 economic crisis if there was a bill that regulated financial derivatives along with new regulations on guns or hunting or any other nonrelated issue. It becomes a muddled mess.

Abstain

Abstain

Thank you very much for your abstention.

When we started doing these last year we did much shorter lists and that led to conflict with the other chamber as at one point there were close to 12 pending bills in the passed queue just of dumb reg bills. Sestak had the idea to consolidate the shorter bills into larger bills to save time and space.

 In the future I would not be opposed to  capping DRRA 20 and other future iterations at only 20 -25 or so dumb regs at a time like we used to in light of Jimmy's proposal to expand slots for bills already passing through a chamber.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

This vote ends in about twelve hours.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Vote on Final Passage of the Dumb Regulations Repeal Act 19

Aye (3): LouisvilleThunder, NC Yankee and Vern1988
Nay (2): Devout Centrist and Ontario Progressive
Abstain (1): Comrade Funk
