NSG Senate Chamber [NSG Senate] - Version 4

[Lamaredia]

Repeal Regulation Act - Aye
Repeal the Second Republican Executive Act - Aye

I feel ashamed about my name on the REA II. Please remember that I only wrote the part about recall elections, and the rest was Belmaria.

[The Liberated Territories]

Nay to both.

[Costa Fierro]

Aye on all bills.

[McKleigh]

AYE to all

[Skeckoa]

I motion for voting to end early.

[Regnum Dominae]

AYE to both

I motion for voting to end early.

Seconded, if the motion is legal.

[The Nihilistic view]

I vote Aye to RRA and Nay to RSREA.

[The Nihilistic view]

The motion is not legal as both bills are not at or above 90% in favor.


-Acting in Official PpT capacity

[Maklohi Vai]

The motion is not legal as both bills are not at or above 90% in favor.


-Acting in Official PpT capacity

What are the current counts?

[Regnum Dominae]

The motion is not legal as both bills are not at or above 90% in favor.


-Acting in Official PpT capacity

What are the current counts?

Bill	Aye	Nay	Abstain	%
RRA	25	1	3	96.15
RSREA	22	3	4	88

If we get five consecutive AYE votes for RSREA, the vote can then be motioned to end early.

[The Nihilistic view]

The motion is not legal as both bills are not at or above 90% in favor.


-Acting in Official PpT capacity

What are the current counts?

I did it mentally and it's RSREA that is down, it has about 22 votes for and 3 against so it's 5 votes in favor down on where it needs to be.

[Maklohi Vai]

Thanks to you both.

[New Bierstaat]

Yes to both.

[Regnum Dominae]

Bill	Aye	Nay	Abstain	%

CTALNH sponsored one of these. Man, that's old.

Anyway, I'll be voting no on the drug user treatment act. A known user of illegal drugs should not be able to get taxpayer-funded help at his/her own leisure without penalty. It's not clear enough in what it considers to be a drug. I would support a similar measure provided that it clarifies what it considers a drug and that it states that known illegal drug users are still eligible for prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.

[Regnum Dominae]

I play on voting NAY on the GMO labeling act, for two reasons.

1) It falsely claims that there are "many negative health effects to GMOs", which has not been proven and is likely false.

2) The way the law is written, a future health ministry could label GMOs in a way that is meant to create fear and feed the anti-GMO hysteria. If they are going to be labeled they should be labeled as described here: viewtopic.php?p=17888385&sid=10c49b7687b76a62de5b6d5fe19266a5#p17888385

Class is starting, I'll comment on the rest of the bills in a few hours.

I have petitioned the author to add your second point. If this passes without that being added, I will amend the legislation.
