@Assembly Member Debate may begin on the proposed Amendment to our Standing Orders.
As President, I have observed (and no doubt some MGAs have as well), some inefficiencies in our standing orders after special cases have arisen.
So this amendment seeks to try and resolve some issues: Allow for special votes to skip debate, if they do not have legislative or executive relevance. Such as the Resolution for Ward's state funeral.
Clarity on withdrawal of proposals, which has been something we have done in the past without any formal ruling. This should hopefully make it clearer.
Shortening the suspension vote time, I still think some voting time is essential to prevent abuse but there probably is no reason why it should be equivalent to a formal vote to pass a bill as that will prolong debate overly much, in my opinion.

I do ask the Assembly to review this, especially the wording in Article I and II.
I am also open to other ideas to address these three pain points.
Andrew Williams (KSDP) — 10/18/2024 2:45 AM I have no issue
J.F. Sassoon [HIATUS] — 10/18/2024 7:32 AM Madame President, this would clear a lot of issues up, I believe. This enjoys my support.
Antonio Recio Rufián [SHRIMP] — 10/18/2024 7:58 AM I am all for checks and balances on possible loopholes the state can abuse.
Phoenix Adams [Ind] — 10/18/2024 11:53 PM I have no issues with the proposal
Saka Dakota ( SHRIMP ) — 10/19/2024 6:03 AM Motion to vote as I have no issues

Saka Dakota ( SHRIMP ) — 10/19/2024 6:47 AM sorry

If this is satisfactory, we may as well move to vote if we can have some motions from the floor.
J.F. Sassoon [HIATUS] — 10/20/2024 11:29 PM I motion to Filibuster while I read the entirety of the Bible in Ancient Egyptian Vote.
Andrew Williams (KSDP) — 10/20/2024 11:34 PM Motion to vote
