The twelfth open thread shall be reserved for legislation related to regional emergencies declared by the Governor of the South. The Speaker shall introduce legislation to this thread as directed by the Governor, but only when the Governor has declared a state of regional emergency.
As there has not been a state of Emergency declared by the Governor. I wont be able to put through the legislation as an emergency. However in the Regional interest of all Southerners, to ensure our region has full representation in the senate. I am starting the vote now the same time as the debate. As per the powers of the Speaker as the presiding officer over, under
Section VII:2.
The presiding officer may unilaterally suspend any section of these rules at any time, unless another Delegate objects. If two Delegates object, suspending the rules shall require the consent of a majority of sitting Delegates.
I have not suspended debate. I am merely allowing the vote and debate to take place in parallel to enable a prompt decision in favor or against.
Ring the Bells. (All Delegates will be PM'd.)
Voting is now open on
