3. CONGRESSIONAL VOTE: New Restroom Program
PROPOSED BILL:
Currently, the restroom cost is $10 per use. Many people find it difficult to pay for this and instead hold it which is bad for your body.
- Written by Period 4 Representative Moreno & Senator Zavala
PROPOSAL: - Amended by Goblirsch
This proposal is to provide each member 2 free restroom passes per week as monitored by the section leader (Section Leaders need to make sure they are doing ALL of their responsibilities). After the 2 free passes are used, the restroom price will increase to $15. However, if the 2 passes per week are not used, they will turn into a $10 (taxable) bonus each week.
A “Yes” vote will implement the New Restroom Program
A “No” vote will keep everything they way it currently is
