Veto

I support this bill, but please re-propose an updated version of it to include the recently signed Syringe Act.

 

[A__C]

Representative A__C has motioned for a veto override of the "Cool Drugs Consolidation Act" due to it having been vetoed because of confusion. (The reason the Act was created in the first place).

A
BILL
To
Amend the Cool Drug Laws Consolidation Act​

The people of the Commonwealth of Redmont, through their elected Representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:

1 - Short Title and Enactment
(1) This Act may be cited as the “Cool Drug Trafficking Amendment Act"
(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.
(3) This bill was authored by Representative A__C.
(4) This Act is co-sponsored by Representative xEndeavour.

2 - Reasons
(1) There is no incentive for people to remove a chestshop trafficking illicit drugs because the way the current law is written, they could only get charged once and keep their shop up, if it is being sold in a chestshop.
(2) Conversely, there is no limit to the number of times someone can be charged in a period of time, so they could technically be charged for Drug Trafficking five times in a day as long as their chestshop is left up.

3 - Terms
(1) Amends Part 4 of the Cool Drug Laws Consolidation Act from:
4 - Drug Trafficking
(1) Trafficking of illicit substances.
First Offense: 5 minutes jail + $150 fine
Second Offense: 10 minutes jail + $300 fine
Third and Subsequent Offenses: 20 minutes jail + $500 fine

To:
4 - Drug Trafficking
(1) Trafficking of illicit substances. A person charged with Drug Trafficking has one week to remove the chestshop(s) in that location before they may be charged for a subsequent offense.
First Offense: 5 minutes jail + $150 fine
Second Offense: 10 minutes jail + $300 fine
Third and Subsequent Offenses: 20 minutes jail + $500 fine
