Hello, Bayh

Welcome to the Mideast Assembly Thread. If you have any ideas on a bill that you would like the Assembly to work on with you are debate, just post it. I believe we have one bill in the queue(I think I spelled that right). But we will be glad to work with you on any bill or idea you have.

Is there a list of bills that are currently in the queue?
And how serious are the bills? Can you introduce major things (such as a ban on abortion), or is it silly things (banning llama's from restraunts).
And can anyone vote, or only, assembleymen?

[tmthforu94]

Sweetness.
How do you run to become an assembleyperson?

I'm liking the "Mideast Soldier Memorial Act". I assume it doesn't have much opposition?

Well you could have run for election to this Assembly last week

Umph.

When is the next election for Assembly? And how many assemblypeople are there?

[tmthforu94]

The next election for the Assembly is July, but one of the Assembly member will be elected to the senate in June, so if you became active the Governor Inks may pick you to replace that member.

Also, we haven't discuss that bill yet, so I don't know how the other members feel about it.

Why are there so many elections?
And are you allowed to campaign for a position? I mean, I see that people have a HQ, but is that all you can do?

Well currently, we are heading into an election for President/VP and Regional Senate. You are allowed to run for any postion you want. Like you could run for President or Senator or Governor(but they next Mideast Governor's race is in July).

Well, I'm not going to run yet. I don't have enough experience.
Does the RPP have a candidate for each office?

[tmthforu94]

How many assembly seats are there?

[tmthforu94]

How many assembly seats are there?

There are three seats, you can read about the Assembly here

Sweetness.
I wish I would have gotten involved in this sooner. It seems really fun.
So, someone might have answered this, but do you have to be an assembleyperson to introduce a bill?

Legislation shall be considered by the Assembly upon petition of any Assembly member, the Governor, or two Mideast citizens, but if you want to introduce a bill you can post it and I will sponsor it for you.

Okay.
I don't have a bill. I was just wondering.
How many bills get passed each week?

It varys on how active the Assembly members are and if we have any bill to pass.

How many would you guess have been passed in May?

[tmthforu94]

I like feeling good. We should honor those who fought for our country.
Please vote Aye.

[tmthforu94]

How often would it normally be before there is a vote on it?

[tmthforu94]

How often would it normally be before there is a vote on it?

24 hours, or more if someone is unavailable due to sickness (like me) or otherwise. The Speaker can just say that there has not been debate in the last 24 hours, and call a vote if he so wishes.

Oh. Thank you

Another question. In the thread below, why is there so many votes? I thought only Assemblymen could vote? I thought there were only 3..

That is a public referendum. Basically, four Mideasterners protested the passing of the Mideast Abortion Statute. Our state constitution states that a public vote will be taken on any statute that four citizens protest against. In this public election, any Mideasterner can vote. Any election in the Voting Booth is open to the general public of that region, or, if no region is specified, then the whole country.

Got it
Thank you very much.

[tmthforu94]

Yes, it is acceptable. I will support it, as the money ends up going to something I advocate very strongly. Good idea governor.

Ditto

[tmthforu94]

On the "The Mideast Marijuana Taxation Act", I really like 3 and 4. Not too crazy on number 1, and I would like taxes to be increased even more on all marijuana. Overall, I encourage everyone to vote "Aye".

[tmthforu94]

The Mideast Soldier Memorial Act has been signed.

Thank you. That's a great bill.

[tmthforu94]

Due to #3 & 4, I strongly encourage all assemblymen to vote "Aye" on the Mideast Marijuana Taxation Act.

[tmthforu94]

So, would repealing "Mideast Intelligent Design Statue" allow schools to teach evolution?

[tmthforu94]

No. It would allow schools to teach intelligent design. Deceptively named laws and repeals make this sort of things issues, but this bill on the floor would allow schools to teach intelligent design.

Hmmm...Okay, thank you

[tmthforu94]

I guess I withdraw this. I'm sorry I brought this up, with my lack of knowledge on this subject. (I feel stupid now)

Oh Dan, don't feel stupid. You learned something new today. That doesn't make you stupid.

[tmthforu94]

I would like to present the following bill to the Assembly:

The Animal Protection Act
1. The Mideast recognizes animal torture as knowingly torturing, tormenting, needlessly mutilating or maiming, cruelly beating, poisoning, needlessly killing, or committing an act of cruelty against a companion animal.
2. To require a child under the age of 18 to undergo psychological evaluation to determine if the child needs individual or family counseling.
3. To require the parent, guardian, or other person taking care of the child to pay the costs of the evaluation, counseling, or both.
4. If a person over the age of 18 commits animal cruelty more than twice, that person would be required to spend a minimum of 30 days in prison and a maximum of 5 years.

The bill is brought to the floor. My first reading of the bill would seem to mean that clause 2 requires that all children under the age of 18 (surely a tautology?) undergo a psych evaluation. I ='d like some clarification of who exactly is meant to be affected by this bill.

I'm sorry. Anyone under the age of 18 must undergo a psychological evaluation.

I think he means what does that have to do with the protection of animals?

Ahh...
The main purpose of this bill is to protect animals by creating punishments if you abuse animals. Minors who are beating animals obviously have anger problems, and need professional help. Hopefully, prison time would also keep adults from being cruel to animals.

[tmthforu94]

As far as I can tell, you are actually proposing that every single person under 18 undergo a psych evaluation at some point. The Mideast probably has somewhere on the order of 10 million children within its boundaries. You seem content to delegate the cost of this on to hard working families by requiring that all families pay for the evaluation of their children. Sorry, but thats unacceptable to me, especially as we will find that the vast majority of children are not animal torturers.

Oh
I'm sorry, I made a mistake on the bill. :/
That was meant to say...
2. To require a child under the age of 18 who has committed animal cruelty to undergo psychological evaluation to determine if the child needs individual or family counseling.
