RZ22 - The Rookie Mistake Act

Published in Clark #5

WHEREAS I proposed the "Nobody Feels like Writing Acts just to Fix Typos Act" while I was only in my second Clark as a legislator, and

WHEREAS I was still learning how to write legislation at the time (though admittedly I am still learning), and

WHEREAS Having pondered the language of the bill I have passed, and seeing it is now being used, I find I don't especially like the way I wrote it, and

WHEREAS Specifically, there is concern it might be inorganic, and I think parts of it are redundant and impractical, and

WHEREAS For my own peace of mind, I would appreciate the opportunity to reword it

THEREFORE Lex.C.1.2.3, which currently reads

C.1.2.3 If the Scribe finds an error in the formatting, grammar, or spelling of a bill that has already been clarked, or alerted of same, he shall work with the sponsor of the bill to fix said error(s).

C.1.2.3.1 The Scribe shall publicize any proposed changes to a bill, and said changes may only be implemented after they have been public for seven days

C.1.2.3.2 If, before the proposed changes are implemented, a petition of MCs representing at least 1/3 of the seats in the Cosa, or a petition of at least 1/3 of the Senators, goes before the Scribe in protest of the proposed changes to the bill, the Scribe may not implement the changes.

C.1.2.3.3 If a disagreement arises over the interpretation of a law that was amended though this process, the language originally enacted by the Ziu is superior and shall be used in interpretation

C.1.2.3.4 The Scribe shall keep a record of the original language of bills that were amended in this way for use according to C.1.2.3.3

is amended to read;

C.1.2.3 If the Scribe, or their deputy(s), finds an error in the formatting, grammar, or spelling of a bill which is currently in the Clark, or is alerted of same, they shall work with the sponsor of the bill to fix said error(s).

C.1.2.3.1 The Scribe, or their deputy(s), shall publicize any proposed changes to a bill, with the approval of the author.  The changes are deemed to have been implemented after they have been public for seven days, unless the changes are disallowed by the conditions of C.1.2.3.2

C.1.2.3.2 If, before the proposed changes are implemented, a petition of MCs representing at least 1/3 of the seats in the Cosa, or a petition of at least 1/3 of the Senators, goes before the Scribe in protest of the proposed changes to a bill, the changes cannot be implemented.
