RZ2 - The Move like Jagger Act

Published in Clark #1

Whereas in theory we have a system where provincial citizenship corresponds to a geographic location, and

Whereas many citizens living in the same area are currently assigned to different provinces, and

Whereas these citizens should have the option to be assigned to the right province, and

Whereas moving to a different catchment area should result in a change of provincial citizenship, and

Whereas there is a small mistake in Lexhatx E 7.1.2, which still mentions only seven province, and

Whereas this bill does not solve all the problems related to provincial catchment, but is part of a broader discussion on the subject, and

Whereas I never really got around to writing proper whereas clauses, now

Therefore El Lexhatx E 7.1.2, which currently reads “Citizens living outside the boundaries of Talossa shall be assigned to a province corresponding to a geographic zone. The entire globe shall be divided into seven geographic zones so that anyone living anywhere outside Talossa is automatically assigned to the corresponding Talossan province.” 

will be amended to read: 

“Citizens living outside the boundaries of Talossa shall be assigned to a province corresponding to a geographic zone. The entire globe shall be divided into eight geographic zones so that anyone living anywhere outside Talossa is automatically assigned to the corresponding Talossan province.”,

Furthermore El Lexhatx E 7.3, which currently reads:
“No Talossan citizen may transfer his provincial citizenship to a different province, except by physically moving into that province or into the zone corresponding to that province. A citizen living inside or outside of Talossa who moves into an outside zone corresponding to a different province may transfer his citizenship to the new province by law, but in the absence of such a law, is considered assigned to his original province for all purposes.” 

will be amended to read:

“No Talossan citizen may transfer his provincial citizenship to a different province, except by physically moving into that province or into the zone corresponding to that province. A citizens living inside or outside of Talossa, who moves permanently into an outside zone corresponding to a different province will be (re)assigned by the SoS to the province corresponding to the new geographic zone in accordance with the following provisions:

7.3.1 Citizens moving to an area corresponding to a province closed to immigration will not be reassigned upon moving.

7.3.2 The provisions in this section do not apply when a citizen currently assigned to the wrong province geographically moves within his/her current geographic assignment area, unless the move is either a) over a distance of more than 1000 kilometres, or b) across national borders. In both cases the provisions in this section do apply.”

Furthermore, El Lexhatx E. 10.7, which currently reads: “Whenever any Talossan wants to move his provincial assignment to the province in whose assigned area he actually lives, he may do so, provided that either a) the province to which he is moving has a lower population than the province from which he is moving, or b) both provinces are currently closed to immigration.”

will be amended to read:

“Whenever any Talossan wants to move his provincial assignment to the province in whose assigned area he actually lives, he may do so, provided that either a) the province to which he is moving is not closed to immigration, or b) both provinces are currently closed to immigration.”
