There are no laws on the subject on competing bills - it always places the speaker in an odd situation because the law is completely silent on what happens when two bills accomplishing the opposite thing go to vote at the same time and both of them are passed.

There is also an assumption that there is some sort of "motions queue", but there is no such thing defined in the laws.

I would encourage an assemblyperson to approach this subject in a different thread. In my opinion we should, in those situations, have, instead of "Aye", options for each competing bill.

You had offered edits to your proposal which means your proposal was delayed from reaching vote because there needed to be time to consider those edits to your proposal. G-R's proposal, on the other hand, was not being edited and had been approved, motioned and seconded.
