RZ12 - The Plagiarising "The Glass Treasury Act" Act

Published in Clark #4

WHEREAS this bill was written by M.T. Patritz da Biondeu, and
WHEREAS M.T. Patritz da Biondeu sadly renounced his citizenship, and
WHEREAS he can therefore no longer propose this act to the ziu, and
WHEREAS this is a shame, because the bill is this a good idea, and
WHEREAS I want to stress again that I didn't write this bill and all credit should go to M.T.
Patritz da Biondeu, and
WHEREAS money and accurate records of financial transactions are very important to any
organization, government, or nation
WHEREAS all citizens of the nation should be able to see the current status of our Treasury as if
it were being held in a glass box,
THEREFORE we, the Ziu, hereby declare:
1) The Burgermeister of Inland Revenue must between the 1st and 7th day of every calendar
month make public, a report of all financial and if applicable, non financial holdings and
assets entrusted into his/her possession by the State and her citizens. The report must
contain all applicable original statements, be they either scanned, in .pdf form and/or
screenshots if it is a online statement(s).
2) The BoIR may alter, remove and/or otherwise edit any information contained in any
report and/or statement(s) in section (1) which he/she feels that such inclusion would
threaten the security and safety of such funds and assets. Should the BoIR alter, remove
and/or otherwise edit any information contained in any report and/or statement(s) in
section (1), s/he must privately furnish a original and unaltered copy of same to the King
and the Prime Minister on the same date.
3) The Burgermeister of Inland Revenue must keep these reports on file for seven years
along with supporting financial institution statements/documents. In addition, within one
week of publishing said report, the Burgermesiter must upload such reports to a publicly
accessible webpage/website, which shall be solely used for the purpose of archiving said
reports, along with supporting financial institution statements/documents and he/she shall
be responsible for maintaining said webpage, along with ensuring his/her successor has
full access to this website/webpage.
4) Any member of the Ziu may formally request from the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue
any specific statement(s) from the last seven years. The Burgermeister of Inland Revenue 
shall respond to such request in a timely fashion but no later than 30 days from the date
the request was made. No member may request a statement which dates prior to the
enactment of this act.
FURTHERMORE we also amend section 2.2 of 35RZ24 "The Royal Household Cleaning Act"
to read
2.2 the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue shall be appointed by the Seneschal and shall only be
removed by the King upon a binding 2/3 vote of the Ziu or by the Uppermost Cort due to gross
misconduct or failure to execute on sections 1, 2, 3, and 4 of "The Glass Treasury Act".
