I am curious if there is support for an amendment to the
Legislative Procedure Act which mandates that any new bill which is substantially similar to a previous bill which failed at vote be restricted from going to a vote for two to three weeks from the date of that vote's closure?
Current draft:
Amendment to Article 1 of the Legislative Procedure Act Wrote:Legislative Procedure Act
1. Legislative Rules
...
(7) Should any bill, resolution or amendment fail to become law, any proposal which is judged by the Chair as being substantially similar to that failed legislation shall be prevented from going to vote for two weeks after the closure of the vote. The Chair may waive this restriction should a legislator motion for them to do so, provided that there has been no objection within 24 hours of the motion being made and seconded.
