Posting this here to allow for the rest of the citizenry to voice their opinions on the act:

As of writing the act is as follows:

Tilte
1.This act shall be titled the Allowance of Motions During Voting Act.

Amendment
2. Section 4 of the Procedural Rules shall be amended to read:

4. Any Skrifa other than the Speaker may motion to vote on any proposal once the two-day debate period has expired. The Speaker shall open the vote no later than five days after the motion to vote has passed.

(a) The Speaker shall notify the Citizens of Wintreath whenever a proposal comes to a vote.

(b) During voting, any Skrifa may motion to alter the bill, and must then provide a detailed list of parts that need to be altered. If the motion receives a second, a vote will be held to determine if the proposed changes will come into effect, and the changes will only be brough into effect if a majority of Skrifa voted in favour of the action. If a draw occurs, the action will fail.

The Underhusen discussion on this act can be found here.

Anyone can feel free to post their opinions and views on this and the discussion here.

I have no significant issues with this.

But please correct "brough." 

Er... Right, I'll get on that.

May I ask what's the rationale behind giving the Speaker a grace period of five days to open the vote after the motion to vote has passed, since all the necessary discussion should have been completed by then?

I think it's more tailoring the fact that sometimes the Speaker may not be able to get online immediately to create the thread.

However, in my case at least, that's normally been more when actually MAKING the motion, since I've always made the thread immediately after I see the second for it has happened.  Whereas I don't always make it right on time on the deadline to ask someone to make the motion.

So I think the rule should apply more towards making the motions, rather than the action taken if/when they pass.

For the record, 4(a) may be removed if the latest revision to the procedural rules passes.

Well, with the secretary posting the topics for citizens to discuss, it's kind of an obsolete passage anyways.  Because now the secretary could post when we move to a vote if they chose to do so.

That or it could become an added duty for them to notify the citizens if it was decided that the Underhusen should always keep them notified about when bills come to a vote.

I understand, but if it's still included in this bill, it will be back in the procedural rules after we just removed it. 

I'll change this bill to reflect that change when it comes into effect.

Which is now.  The procedural rules have been amended to reflect it since everyone has voted on it.
