Duties, Seat Change, and General Motion Thread (5th Senate)

Order, Order!

Welcome to the Fifth Term of the Superior Senate; here is where you will do all major duty things. I will explain in more detail below:

RESIGNATIONS AND PROXY

  • If you intend to resign your seat, you must comment on this thread. State your intention to resign, and ideally, contact your party leaders to let them know.
  • Also, if you need a proxy, this is the place to comment that, state how long you will be absent, and who will be your voting proxy.

SEAT REPLACEMENTS

  • Seat changes must be commented on this thread by a party leader. Comment who is filling the seat and who they are replacing.
  • If the Party Leader for any of the parties change, remember to DM me (Gunnz011#7212) so I can allow you to comment here!

USING SENATE RULES

  • If any Member plans on utilizing State Senate Rules, such as docketing legislation for discussion, opening committees for investigation, requests for recaucus, or any other power normally reserved for the President of the Senate and Minority Leader, they must be explained here as a comment.
  • Scheduling Bills for Reading MUST be done before the end of Sunday every week for it to be considered, and is to be done by DM'ing me, Gunnz, on Discord. Points of Order must also be made by State Senators on this thread, providing sufficient context.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • Remember to ping /u/Gunnz011 with every comment to make sure that is recorded.
  • Remember to ping the President of the Senate in a Point of Order comment for it to be actioned. Points where the President is not pinged, cannot be considered valid.

I hope we all have a great and active term this term! If you want to know anything more, read the State Assembly Opening Thread at r/ModelCentralState (pinned) or DM me on discord.

Hello Superior! It's time to vote on this week's bills. Here are the bills:

A.007

B.062

B.068

A reminder that Article XIV, Section 1 of the Superior Constitution states:

Amendments approved by a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate shall be added to the Constitution.

This has been consistently interpreted as 2/3rds of votes as long as there is quorum, not a 2/3rds vote of all members.

Vote closes at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, after which bills will be posted and we will (hopefully) return to a normal schedule.
