This gives the Praetor tiebreaker powers. This was an old power of the Praetor back in the day, and I thought it was still in place, but I think it got lost somewhere in the chaos of past reforms.D. Voting

Before someone says it, I would still support this bill even if I wasn't the Praetor. I think it's a useful power for the Praetor, especially for non-Patrician ones. It makes the Praetor job a bit more desirable and potent.
