RZ7 - Scribery Swooping Powers Amendment

Published in Clark #2

WHEREAS minor orthographical errors in proposed amendments always happen, and are not always caught in time; and,
WHEREAS nobody wants to draw up an amendment just to fix tiny orthographical errors, so that they just remain as such in our bodies of law; and,
WHEREAS amending the Organic Law is already a pain in itself, and going through an amendment process merely because of an ortho- or typographical error is more than just a hassle; and,
WHEREAS the law currently allows for Scribes to propose changes to laws only during them being in the Clark, and at least seven days before voting upon it is finalised, which is not feasible; and,
WHEREAS we want our bodies of law to look and be consistent; and,
WHEREAS a Scribery SwEEping Powers Act for the Lexhatx was recently Hoppered, and the Organic Law should not come short; now

THEREFORE be it enacted by the Ziu that Article XV of the Organic Law be amended, so that a new Section 7 be added unto it, to read:

The Scribe of Abbavilla is empowered to make orthographical and typographical changes within the Organic Law, in order to achieve and maintain its orthographical, and typographical uniformity. Changes to words must not alter the sense or meaning of words, nor the spirit of the law. Any changes to the Organic Law done under this provision must be summarised and reported to the Ziu. The Ziu may describe the nature of such permitted changes within the Lexhatx.

FURTHERMORE, this Amendment shall only be commended to the Citizenry in a Referendum to change the Organic Law in the next General Elections, if the Scribery Sweeping Powers Act is passed by the Ziu, and becomes a valid statute.
