It can be amended to repeal that clause of the Universal Credit Act. Further, there is no provision to remove bills from queue.

(to everyone interested)

We're working on making SWA legal, and will appreciate everyone's patience on this matter. UCA was not yet law when SWA was added to the queue. It's just a little bit of housekeeping, but I appreciate NV pointing it out. I knew UCA would be used to deny benefits, I just didn't catch the exact part. Many thanks, Boris.

Dammit Byzantium, stop spraying your ignorance on everyone. If you don't know the answer, learn to shut your trap.

Here is the relevant section of FAREA. It mentions nothing about the #1 spot.

:palm: It just occurred to me. You used inductive reasoning. Sigh. Anyway:
Legislative queuejumping

4a. Establishes a new power to the President of Aurentina, referred to as legislative queuejumping.
4b. Senators are permitted to petition to the President of Aurentina to rearrange the queue to allow a number of bills, include those that have been omnibused, to be voted on at a sooner time. A formal petition with a minimum of seven Senators signing it is required before any legislative queuejumping can commence. Alternative methods includes a Letter of Recommendation from a member of the Council of Ministers.
4c. Usage of legislative queuejumping is to be at the discretion of the President and it is strongly recommended that he seeks advice of the Council of State before he makes a decision.
4d. The President of Aurentina then rearranges the queue to how he see fits and the President of the Senate, or the President pro tempore acting in his place, formally posts the new queue.
4e. This act strongly recommends that the President of Aurentina expresses extreme discretion before using his power of legislative queuejumping and recognises that improper usage of it is a cause of his immediate Impeachment.
4f. If the Vice President is carrying out the duties of the President of Aurentina due to his absence or inactivity, then he can not be the one who formally posts the new queue; only the President pro tempore may do so.

If Byzantium wants you to use beyond my refusal that is between you and him but he can of course overide me on this.

You can quote in full if you wish. I am not a killjoy in any sense of the word

By the way, by legislative queue jumping califas, it means allowing an individual bill skip ahead of the queue. Omnibusses which allows it to get ahead is not considered as such
(WAIT A SECOND WHILE I CHECK)

edit: Confirmed after looking. It would not require it. Or is my reading of it still incorrect?

edit 2: i admit fact wise i havent been having a good week :D

This has enough support for the queue.

Food Service Sanitation Act (FSSA)

Written by: Venaleria [RG] | Edited by: Rumostan [CMP] Free South Califas [CM] | Supported by: Valentir [LD] The Realm of God [PC] Potenco [RG] Agritum [TR] Malgrave [USLP] Mitonesia [TR]
Urgency: Medium-High



The Senate of Aurentina,


• REALIZING the increasingly important need for sanitation regulation in food service areas across Aurentina
• NOTING the fact that sanitation when serving food items in a public area is vital for national health
• APPALED that almost no legislation has been mentioned or discussed regarding this current issue

Defines the following terms:

I. Food Service Area: A public, governmental, or educational area in which food or drink is being served and prepared to a group or person(s) such as restaurants, school/business cafeterias, food trucks, pubs/bars, or any other locations of a similar purpose and identity
II. Sanitation: The necessary promotion and hygienic means of cleanliness, public health protection, waste disposal, or disease protection which is needed in a food service area in order to maintain public health
III. Certified Health Inspector: A government official fully educated in the subjects of health and food service area sanitation of whose job is to inspect, rate, and better the sanitation of food service areas

Mandates the following standards:
• All national food service areas shall be required by law to be inspected by a certified health inspector in order to maintain quality public health assurance
• Creates the National Health Inspection Department (NHID) to oversee the inspection and display of health ratings with the help of the Ministry of Health
• A national health rating system shall be created to score or grade food service areas on their overall sanitation. The system shall be a one (1) to one-hundred (100) scale in which the following characteristics are noted,

- A rating of ninety-five (95) to one-hundred (100) will be given the letter grade of an A or “exceptional”
- A rating of ninety (90) to ninety-five (95) will be given the letter grade of an B or “very good”
- A rating of eighty-five (85) to ninety (90) will be given the letter grade of a C or “good”
- A rating of eighty (80) to eighty-five (85) will be given the letter grade of a D or “acceptable”
- A rating of seventy-five (75) to eighty (80) will be given the letter grade of a E or “marginal”
- A rating of seventy (70) to seventy-five (75) will be given the letter grade of a F or “poor”
- A rating of sixty-five (65) to seventy (70) will be given the letter grade of a G or “discouraging”
- Any food service area which is given a rating below that of a sixty-five (65) to seventy (70), otherwise known as a grade G, shall be closed down immediately and rid of all service permits. If the owner or proprietor of the establishment wishes to begin business again, they must be given full education on the subject of sanitation in there food service area, overseen by the NHID. In schools, this rehabilitation shall be nationally required and not optional, with the owner or proprietor being the sitting superintendent of those schools.
- Ratings may include the addition of decimal places if the health inspector feels that a whole numbered rating is not accurate
- Ratings shall be based on the following criteria,

a. Are employees trained in basic food safety and preparation as well as being employed under a certified proprietor or supervisor?
a1. Are employees trained to prepare and serve food and drink properly so as to prevent cross-contamination of common allergens? This may not be required if the following is posted at least once on menus and food option displays in food service areas:

"This establishment cannot promise that allergen-safe options are available."

b. Is food and drink held at proper temperatures?
c. Are conditions that promote pests controlled?
d. Is food protected from health contamination during storage, preparation, transportation, and display?
e. Are all food preparation and display surfaces maintained healthily?
f. Are all non-food related surfaces maintained healthily?
g. Are all plumbing and utilities maintained healthily and efficiently?
h. Are all required health warnings, terms, and ratings displayed clearly and effectively?
j. Any other viable violations or faults which a certified health inspector may find…

• Any food service area given a rating under a ninety (90), otherwise known as a B, shall be given instruction by the present health inspector on how to maintain positive health rating.
• Food service areas shall be inspected every period of three months to maintain that specific area’s public health rating to a high standard
• All national food service areas shall be required by law to publicly display and present the sanitation rating which has been given to that specific area by a certified health inspector so that those served may understand how healthily their food or drink is being prepared and make decisions based on that rating. If the rating given is not displayed, consequences will ensue.
• A physical and computerized record shall be kept of all notes and ratings to each food service area in order to provide the public with an overview of food service health rating so that decisions involving the engagement of food services may be made accordingly
• Aside from health rating requirements, food services areas must also:

- Display the following message at least once on menus or food option displays if one or more of the listed items is available for order or purchase: “Some of these items are cooked to order and may be served raw or undercooked. Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of food-borne illness."


The Senate of Aurentina hereby passes and implements the Food Service Sanitation Act.
