RZ1 - The Website Responsibility Bill

Published in Clark #1

Statute

THE WEBSITE RESPONSIBILITY BILL

WHEREAS under current law, responsibility for 'overseeing the Internet presence of the Kingdom' is currently the responsibility of the Scribery:

and WHEREAS this has led to a neglect of the outwards-facing Internet presence of the Kingdom;

and WHEREAS the responsibility of the Scribery for Talossa's internet presence in C.1.2 conflicts with the responsibility given to the elected Government in A.20;

and WHEREAS this function should properly be the responsibility of the elected Government, and the Scribery should concentrate on its core function of keeping public records:

BE IT ENACTED by the Ziu as follows:

1) The following additional paragraph shall be added to El Lexhátx D.2.10:

2.10.3 As part of their duties as described in D.2.10 above, the Ministry of Stuff shall be responsible for the content of the publicly-readable Internet presence of the Kingdom, excluding those websites under the jurisdiction of other entities of the Kingdom as described in El Lexhátx A.20 or elsewhere in El Lexhátx. They shall be directly responsible for the content of one or more websites named as the 'official' website(s) of the Kingdom, and ensuring the availability for all Talossans of the following:

a) the records of the Scribery as described in C.1.2;
b) up-to-date information on the personnel of all Government, Royal Household, Civil Service and Chancery office-holders.

2) El Lexhátx C.1.2 shall be amended by the deletion of the phrase in "strikethrough" = below:

The Scribery of Abbavilla, headed by the Scribe of Abbavilla. The functions of the Scribery are to maintain and publish the Organic and statutory laws of the Kingdom~~, and oversee the Internet presence of the Kingdom~~.

RZ3 - The election timing amendment

Published in Clark #1

Rejected by the Senäts

WHEREAS elections now occur the month after the dissolution AND

WHEREAS the dissolution was on January 4th AND

WHEREAS this section of the organic law means the election starts on Februrary 15th AND

WHEREAS there is no provision for that additional month of waiting, therefore causing an impossible contradiction in the organic law

THEREFORE the Ziu resolves to put to referendum the follow amendment to the organic law, in Article VII

Section 3, which currently reads:

All elections to the Cosa are to be conducted during a period beginning from the fifteenth day of the calendar month following the dissolution of the prior Cosa until 7:30 p.m. on the first day of the subsequent month. The first day of this period (the fifteenth) is called the "Balloting Day" and the final day is called the "Election Deadline."

RZ5 - The Make the Bosporus Great Again Act

Published in Clark #2

Rejected by the Senäts

WHEREAS the Boss from Bosporus, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, is one of the most annoying, despicable, and ridiculous political figures of our time, and
WHEREAS the Boss from Bosporus has done many an illegal thing, one of which was to build a Presidential Palace with 1000 rooms with a converted value of roughly 203 million Louise (~305 million USD) in a nature reserve, and
WHEREAS the Boss from Bosporus has defied orders from Turkey's courts, including the highest court, forbidding him to continue building his Presidential Palace, and
WHEREAS recently, the Boss from Bosporus has, with disesteem to diplomatic decorum, summoned the German ambassador to Turkey to appear before the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs due to a satirical video published in Germany criticising his person, and
WHEREAS apparently criticism of his person seems to make the Madman from Bosporus even madder, and
WHEREAS democracy is something he wants to do away with, and
WHEREAS we never want political satire to be something journalists could get incarcerated for in Talossa, now

THEREFORE resolve the Ziu to add following new section 35 to Title F. Culture of the Organic Law, after section 34:

35. Every Talossan is encouraged to exercise freedom of speech, and to voice his or her critical opinion of public, or political figures, and their actions, within the limits of law. The Ziu especially encourages the citizens of our Kingdom to generate many so-called memes to draw attention to unjust, undemocratic, or illiberal heads of state with tendencies towards megalomania, despotism, fascism, or radical nationalism, be they within or without Talossa.

The subsequent sections in Title F shall be renumbered accordingly to fit this new section in.

FURTHERMORE the Ziu condemns the erratic actions of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and reminds him, and the People of the Republic of Turkey, of the importance of democracy, freedom of speech, and rule of law.

RZ6 - The Resident Cunstaval Bill

Published in Clark #2

Rejected by the ZIU

WHEREAS the Cunstaval is the organically mandated representative of the Crown in a province; and

WHEREAS the Cunstaval may, in certain situations, exercise all the powers of the provincial government; and

WHEREAS the Cunstaval should have the full trust and confidence of the people from the province where he or she will have power over; and,

WHEREAS it is only possible to earn a province's full trust and confidence if the Cunstaval belongs to the province that they will have power over; and

WHEREAS most Cunstavals are not residents of the provinces they have power over, and non-residents are still being appointed by the Crown to represent a particular province; and

WHEREAS the practice of appointing a non-resident as Cunstaval is not fully reflective of the will of the residents of a province where the former will have power over; and

WHEREAS the above-mentioned practice may only cause distrust and resentment between the Crown and its subjects; now

THEREFORE Org.17.9, which currently reads

Each Province shall govern itself in such a manner as to guarantee its citizens the full protection of their rights under this Organic Law. Provincial elections may, if so specified in a Province's constitution, be conducted by the Chancery at the same time as elections to the Cosâ, and in accordance with the national election laws and rules. The King shall appoint a Cunstavál (or Constable) for each Province. Until such time as the King or Cunstavál proclaims a provincial constitution providing otherwise, a Province's Cunstavál shall serve as Military Governor and may exercise all the powers of the provincial government. No Cunstavál shall proclaim any provincial constitution or constitutional amendment which:

- Conflicts with any provision of this Organic Law,
- Grants to the King (and consequently to the Cunstavál as the King's representative in the Province) royal powers less extensive than those granted to the King on the national level, except that the provincial royal powers need not include a right of dissolution if provincial elections are held concurrently with Cosâ elections,
- Fails to provide a right to appeal decisions of the provincial court or courts (if any) to the Cort pü Înalt or such other national courts as may be created by the Ziu, or
(In the case of the adoption of a new constitution, is not approved by a referendum in which at least either a majority of all citizens of the province or a two-thirds majority of votes actually cast is in favor of the constitution.)

shall be amended to read,

Each Province shall govern itself in such a manner as to guarantee its citizens the full protection of their rights under this Organic Law. Provincial elections may, if so specified in a Province's constitution, be conducted by the Chancery at the same time as elections to the Cosâ, and in accordance with the national election laws and rules. The King shall appoint a Cunstavál (or Constable) for each Province from a list of qualified individuals, which is to be drafted and submitted by the respective provincial legislatures. Until such time as the King or Cunstavál proclaims a provincial constitution providing otherwise, a Province's Cunstavál shall serve as Military Governor and may exercise all the powers of the provincial government. No Cunstavál shall proclaim any provincial constitution or constitutional amendment which:

- Conflicts with any provision of this Organic Law,
- Grants to the King (and consequently to the Cunstavál as the King's representative in the Province) royal powers less extensive than those granted to the King on the national level, except that the provincial royal powers need not include a right of dissolution if provincial elections are held concurrently with Cosâ elections,
- Fails to provide a right to appeal decisions of the provincial court or courts (if any) to the Cort pü Înalt or such other national courts as may be created by the Ziu, or
(In the case of the adoption of a new constitution, is not approved by a referendum in which at least either a majority of all citizens of the province or a two-thirds majority of votes actually cast is in favor of the constitution.)

RZ8 - The Catchment Area Reform Act

Published in Clark #2

Statute

WHEREAS, at present, the catchment areas of provinces in Talossa are patchy and uncongrous; and

WHEREAS what this means is that provinces have become more and more Senatorial voting clubs rather than meaningful groups of people with common geographical or cultural origins; and

WHEREAS while a balanced intake of immigrants, geographical contiguity and common cultural roots may very well be impossible to achieve all at the same time, this is still a step in the right direction to achieve just that; so

THEREFORE the Ziu hereby amends El Lexhatx section E article 7 as detailed below.

Article 7.3.3 is added with the following text:

7.3.3 Any citizen who happens to find himself living in the catchment area of a different province, subsequent to the creation of a new province or the alteration of catchment area boundaries, will be allowed to choose between remaining a citizen of his current province or becoming a citizen of the province whose catchment area he now lives in.

RZ9 - The Updating A.12 Act

Published in Clark #3

Statute

WHEREAS Lex.A.12 currently states that the USA does not allow gay marriage, and

WHEREAS Whether you support it or not, Obergefell v. Hodges made gay marriage legal in the USA, and

WHEREAS Our laws should be up to date

THEREFORE, Lex.A.12, which currently reads;

12. Marriage is a civil right, guaranteed to all citizens of proper age. It is a contractual agreement between parties, signed onto by their own consent, and is a guaranteed right regardless of sex or sexual orientation. Any sacredness of marriage is between the parties involved and is a strictly personal issue. The Kingdom of Talossa recognizes any and all marriages that fall under this definition, hereby re-asserting the rights given to us by the Organic Law of Talossa. In addition, we would also like to provide Talossan Invincible Moral Support to those citizens of our Giant Friendly Neighbour who themselves are seeking to have the laws of that country reflect the far more progressive laws of the Kingdom of Talossa.

is amended to read;

12. Marriage is a civil right, guaranteed to all consenting citizens of proper age regardless of their sex or sexual orientation. Any sacredness of marriage is between the parties involved and is a strictly personal issue. The Kingdom recognises any and all form of marriage or legal union between two persons that fall under this definition, hereby re-asserting the rights given to its citzens by the Organic Law; and provides Talossan Invincible Moral Support to those who are seeking to have the laws of their country reflect the far more progressive laws of Talossa.

RZ10 - Following the Law is not a Suggestion Act

Published in Clark #3

Rejected by the Senäts

WHEREAS El Lexhatx has provisions which only make suggestions, and

WHEREAS Laws are by definition provisions which can be enforced, and

WHEREAS Suggestions are unenforceable, and

WHEREAS This means suggestions aren't really laws and shouldn't be in the law code, and

WHEREAS Laws which only make suggestions have no effect, because no one reads el Lexhatx for the purpose of finding out what the government suggests they do, and

WHEREAS Laws with no effect still have the effect of cluttering up el Lexhatx, and

WHEREAS Government suggestions should be of minimal concern in a free society anyway, and

WHEREAS When a government feels entitled to enshrine a suggestion into the law code, it is a sign the government is overreaching, and

WHEREAS If the Ziu wants to make a suggestion, it should pass a Sense of the Ziu, which are specifically meant for non-binding resolutions and suggestions

THEREFORE H.13, which currently reads;

13. It is strongly suggested that MCs limit their bill submissions to five at the very most for each Clark.

Is hereby repealed

FURTHERMORE H.15, which currently reads;

15. If at all possible, bills presented for review in the Hopper should be translated into Talossan before being Clarked.

Is hereby repealed

FURTHERMORE I.2.2, which currently reads;

1.2.2. Military Use of Bedposts. The Zouaves of the Royal Bodyguard are encouraged to make use of bedposts for ceremonial and drill purposes

shall be amended to read;

1.2.2. Military Use of Bedposts. The Zouaves of the Royal Bodyguard shall make use of bedposts for ceremonial and drill purposes

FURTHERMORE F.27, which currently reads;

27. The Ziu officially states it is acceptable to refer to the Milwaukee Brewers as "The Maricopa Brewers"; the Ziu also officially encourages the usage of the latter form in all Talossan publications and broadcasts.

shall be amended to read;

27. The Milwaukee Brewers shall henceforth be known as "The Maricopa Brewers"

FURTHERMORE F.32, which currently reads;

32. The Milwaukee Brewers (as they are known in our neighbour nation) of major league baseball shall be known as the Maricopa Brewers (Els Cumplosteirs da Maricopa).

Is hereby repealed because it is redundant.

FURTHERMORE F.30, which currently reads;

30. All citizens are encouraged to watch "Ishtar," a classic movie containing many allusions to Talossan Berber traits, situations, problems, resolutions and musical compositions. Know the definition, texture and appearance of Couscous, the Talossan Berber treat.

shall be amended to read;

30. "Ishtar," a classic movie containing many allusions to Talossan Berber traits, situations, problems, resolutions and musical compositions, shall be the official Berber-themed film of the Kingdom of Talossa.
30.1. Couscous shall be the official Talossan Berber treat.

FURTHERMORE F.33, which currently reads;

33. All Talossans everywhere are encouraged to refer to the Milwaukee Bucks as the Benito Bucks (or, in Talossan, Els Bocs da Benito).

shall be amended to read;

33. The Milwaukee Bucks shall henceforth be known as the Benito Bucks (or, in Talossan, Els Bocs da Benito).

RZ12 - The Boundaries of Religious Freedom Act

Published in Clark #3

Rejected by the ZIU

WHEREAS A.13.12 gives religious organizations the power to "discipline their members," and

WHEREAS This power is very broad, and thus susceptible to abuse, and

WHEREAS Recent events have shown that punishments doled out by religious bodies are often extrajudicial, violent, and infringements upon human rights, no matter what religion it is, and

WHEREAS Because A.13.2 does not allow every Talossan to leave a religion they dissent, only "adult Talossans," there is the real potential for child abuse in the name of religion (see previous clause), and

WHEREAS Most religious activities are already protected by A.13.3, so we don't need a provision which gives religious authorities an excuse to contravene the laws of the Kingdom

THEREFORE A.13.2, which currently reads;

13.2. Religious organizations are subject to their own rules and procedures, and are free to discipline their members. All adult Talossans have the right to leave any religious association from which they dissent.

is amended to read;

13.2. Religious organizations are subject to their own rules and procedures, within the limits of the law. All Talossans have the right to leave any religious association from which they dissent.

RZ13 - The man who can't be moved act

Published in Clark #3

Statute

hereas I messed up, and

Whereas I wrote a bill two terms ago that would assign people to the province of their new catchment area upon moving, and

Whereas it has been recently pointed out to me that this is in fact inorganic, and

Whereas the OrgLaw, Article XVII, Section 3 states that "No person shall have his assignment to a Province altered without his express consent, even if the Ziu shall see fit to redraw the geographic assignment boundaries", and

Whereas I will propose an amendment to this clause soon, but

Whereas it may take a while before this gets passed, and

Whereas in the meantime, we are stuck with an inorganic law, and

Whereas, this is confusing, and

Whereas Lex.E.7.3.1 is currently redundant as it refers to closed provinces, while there are no more closed provinces, now

Therefore Lex.E.7.3.1, which currently reads:

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

will be amended to read

"7.3.1 The provisions in this section do not apply unless the citizen explicitly consents to being reassigned."

RZ14 - SENSE OF THE ZIU: GENDER EQUALITY

Published in Clark #3

Statute

Whereas, while there has been notable progress on gender equality generally over the past several decades there is still a long way to go in ensuring that girls receive equal consideration for their needs and dreams and toward the elimination of iniquitous discrimination and diminution of women’s equal right to civic personhood, and

Whereas, this continued need for policy focus is represented by gender gaps in government service (women make up just 19% of the world’s parliamentarians), labor (women are represented at rates of only two-thirds those of her male counterparts in the global workforce), salary (women make an average salary less than half of their male counterparts), and

Whereas, the Office of UN Secretary-General is one of the world’s most visible diplomatic and administrative roles and has been used in the past to highlight contemporary issues of global import. The campaign for who will replace the current Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon, is underway with unprecedented public interviews and presentation of credentials, and

Whereas, there are female UNSG candidates of exemplary qualifications both within and outside of the UN system such as UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova, UNDP Administrator Helen Clark, Natalia Gherman and Vesna Pusic. The symbolic importance for gender equality, for inclusion of diverse perspectives and for urgently necessary reforms in the election of a woman as UN Secretary-General is self-evident.

Therefore, be it resolved that it is the Sense of the Ziu to encourage the United Nations Security Council and the United Nations General Assembly to review the qualifications of the current candidates for UN Secretary-General with careful consideration for the fact that the world organization has yet to be led by a woman and the fact that there is still much progress to be made with respect to gender equality.

RZ16 - The right to vote in time act

Published in Clark #3

Rejected by the ZIU

Whereas the Writ of Dissolution in the 48th legislature was issued too late by the king.

Therefore we move the following amendment to the Organic Law :

Remove the word ''During '' in article XIII section 1 and replace it by the words ''Before the end of''

Therefore Article XIII section 1 shall now be read:

Section 1. Duration of the Cosâ. The Cosâ convenes two weeks after general elections, on the first day of the month, to coincide with the publication of the first Clark. Its term is roughly six months, each month coinciding with a Clark. Before the end of its last month the King shall issue a Writ of Dissolution ending its term. At the time the Cosâ is dissolved, all its members shall resign, but any Members holding positions in the Government may remain in those positions till the outcome of the election is resolved.

RZ21 - Provincial Assignment Simplification Act

Published in Clark #5

Statute

WHEREAS It is possible to change provincial assignment based on the provincial assignment of relatives, which isn't conducive to having meaningful catchment areas, and

WHEREAS We just spend almost a year making sure we have meaningful catchment areas, so we should use them, and

WHEREAS There are also some provisions which prevent catchment areas from applying based on seemingly random criteria, and

WHEREAS 49RZ13 already requires the consent of a citizen before that citizen is reassigned to the province whose catchment area they reside in, so there is no need for additional provisions such as those mentioned in the previous clause

THEREFORE E.7.3.1, which currently reads;

The provisions in this section do not apply unless the citizen explicitly consents to being reassigned.

shall be amended to read;

The provisions in this section do not apply unless the citizen explicitly consents to being reassigned. Whenever any Talossan wants to move his provincial assignment to the province in whose assigned area he actually lives, he may do so by notifying the Chancery. The move will be officially recognised once the Chancery has validated the request.

FURTHERMORE E.7.3.2, which currently reads;

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.

is amended to read;

The Secretary of State will be responsible for the various moves and assignments which result from this title. These moves and assignments will take effect on their official announcement by the Secretary of State.

FURTHERMORE E.10, which currently reads;

10. The following enhancements and clarifications will apply to the process of assigning citizens to provinces. (35RZ23)

10.1. For the purposes of Talossan law, two people are “closely related” if one of them is the spouse, parent, grandparent, brother, sister, aunt, or uncle of the other, or is married to someone who is the spouse, parent, grandparent, brother, sister, aunt, or uncle of the other.

10.2. If an immigrant is closely related to a Talossan citizen, the immigrant may choose to be assigned to the province to which his Talossan relative belongs, rather than to the province to which he would otherwise be assigned.

10.3. If one Talossan citizen is closely related to another, he may move his provincial assignment to the province to which his Talossan relative already belongs. But nobody may make such a move more than once in his lifetime, except by the special permission of the Ziu.

10.4. If any Talossan citizen is re-assigned, by any means, to another province, his/her close relative(s) may move his/her provincial assignment to the province which his/her Talossan relative has be re-assigned to. But nobody may make such a move more than once in his/her lifetime, except by the special permission of the Ziu.

10.5. A dandelion, when registered, will be assigned to the province of his Talossan parent. If both his parents are citizens, and they belong to different provinces, the dandelion will be assigned to the province of his mother.

10.6. A dandelion, whose Talossan parent has be re-assigned, by any means, to another province, shall be automatically re-assigned to the same province as his/her Talossan parent. If both his/her parents are citizens, and they are re-assigned to different provinces, the dandelion will be re-assigned to the province of his mother.

10.7. Whenever any Talossan wants to move his provincial assignment to the province in whose assigned area he actually lives, he may do so by notifying the Chancery. The move will be officially recognised once the Chancery has validated the request. (47RZ2) (48RZ21)

10.8. The Secretary of State will be responsible for the various moves and assignments contemplated in this title, which moves and assignments will take effect on their official announcement by the Secretary of State.

is hereby repealed.

RZ22 - The OrgLaw Standing Committee Bill No. 1 (Article 9)

Published in Clark #5

Statute

WHEREAS The Organic Law has many provisions which would best be moved to statuary law, and

WHEREAS A simpler, clearer Organic Law would encourage more people to read it, which would result in a more knowledgeable citizenry

THEREFORE Article IX of the Organic Law, which currently reads;

Section 1

The Seneschál shall appoint a Secretary of State to an indefinite term. He may be removed and replaced by law. The Secretary of State shall supervise and organize the legislative business of the Ziu. He shall do this by administering a public venue for the inspection of legislative proposals before they become bills, "The Hopper" and by compiling and publishing the monthly legislative journal, "The Clark." He may delegate another citizen to act as Deputy Secretary of State, who will execute the powers and duties of the Secretary's office, while the Secretary is unavailable or unable to do so. This person shall be appointed and dismissed by the Secretary on whim.

Section 2

Any Member of the Cosâ, or Senator, or the King, shall have the right to submit legislative proposals and bills to the Secretary of State for consideration by the Ziu according to the procedures specified in this article.

Section 3

Except as provided in Article IX: Sec. 7, a bill is not eligible to be voted on by the Ziu and cannot be published in the Clark unless it was first submitted to "The Hopper" as a legislative proposal. And except as provided in Article IX: Sec. 8, only legislative proposals that are in "The Hopper" and have been there for at least ten days can become eligible for publication in "The Clark" as bills. Legislative proposals that are no longer in "The Hopper" cannot become bills.

Section 4

The Secretary of State is under no obligation to create a permanent record of legislative proposals in "The Hopper." The Secretary of State shall remove legislative proposals from "The Hopper" at the request of the author. If a legislative proposal has remained in the "The Hopper" for more than 59 days, the Secretary of State may remove it.

Section 5

A legislative proposal is submitted to the Secretary of State for publication in "The Hopper." A legislative proposal thus submitted should be followed by the words "Uréu q'estadra så" (or "Proposed by") and the name of the author and the capacity in which the author is offering the proposal. The Ziu may regulate how authors identify their capacity. A legislative proposal may be submitted by multiple sponsors, but the legislator whose name is listed first after the words "Uréu q'estadra så" (or "Proposed by") is considered the author of the legislative proposal. The Secretary of State may refuse to accept legislative proposals that are not clearly typed or word-processed. (47RZ37)

Section 6

Bills that will be eligible for publication when the next clark is published and have spent at least five days in the hopper may be submitted with or without modification or amendment as a bill to the Secretary of State by the author according to the procedures specified in this article. The Secretary of State may, however, refuse to accept the bill if he finds that the bill is so substantially different from its original form as a legislative proposal that it constitutes a significantly different proposal. Upon such a finding, the bill is automatically returned to "The Hopper."

Section 7

At his discretion, the Prime Minister shall have the right to withdraw any legislative proposal from "The Hopper" and instruct the Secretary of State to treat it as a properly submitted bill. The Prime Minister's Prime Dictates are exempt from all provisions relating to legislative proposals and "The Hopper."

Section 8

For the first Clark to be published following an Election Deadline as defined in Article VII: Sec. 3, only legislative proposals that are in "The Hopper" and have been there for at least five days can become eligible for publication in "The Clark" as bills.

Section 9

Bills must be submitted to the Secretary of State more than 24 hours before the publication of the Clark. Bills received less than 24 hours before publication of the Clark shall be published in the next Clark or postponed for one Clark, at the Secretary of State's discretion.

Section 10

(Repealed by amendment)

Section 11

If any bill seeks to amend, change, or repeal any Article of the Organic Law or any Law, the bill must specify exactly the Law(s) or Article(s), which it seeks to amend, change, or repeal. The Secretary of State may refuse to accept bills that do not comply with this provision.

Section 12

All bills received by the Secretary of State during one calendar month shall be compiled into a published legislative journal, to be called "The Clark." The Clark shall be compiled prior to the first day of the following month, and shall be published on that day.

Section 13

Notwithstanding Sections 2 and 6 of this Article, the Ziu may make laws regulating the number of bills a Member of the Cosâ or a Senator may submit for one Clark without the need to amend the Organic Law. (47RZ37)

Shall be amended to the following;

Section 1
The Secretary of State shall be appointed and dismissed as specified by law, and he or she shall supervise, and shall organise the legislative business of the Ziu. He or she shall do this by administering a public venue for the inspection of legislative proposals before they become bills, “The Hopper” and by compiling and publishing the monthly legislative journal, “The Clark”. The Secretary of State has the right to appoint deputies. Responsibilities, appointment, and dismissal of deputies shall be governed by law.

Section 2
Any Member of the Cosă, or a Senator, or the King, or the Secretary of State, shall have the right to submit legislative proposals, and bills to the Secretary of State for consideration by the Ziu according to the procedures specified in this article, and specified by law. Within the bounds and rules imposed by law, tradition, and reason, the Secretary of State shall ensure that all legislators be allowed to submit their bills for consideration.

Section 3
All bills received by the Secretary of State during one calendar month shall be compiled into a published legislative journal, to be called “The Clark”. The Clark shall be compiled prior to the first day of the following month, and shall be published on that day.

Section 4
At his discretion, the Prime Minister shall have the right to withdraw any legislative proposal from “The Hopper”, and instruct the Secretary of State to treat it as a properly submitted bill. Prime Dictates are exempt from all provisions relating unto legislative proposals.

Section 5
If any bill seeks to amend, change, or repeal any Article of the Organic Law or any Law, the bill must specify exactly the Law(s) or Article(s), which it seeks to amend, change, or repeal. The Secretary of State may refuse to accept bills that do not comply with this provision.

FURTHERMORE, upon the ratification of the above amendment by the People of Talossa, Title H of el Lexhatx, which currently reads;

1. Future elections shall be followed, when practical, by an official Living Cosa which shall be styled the "State Opening of the Cosa." At the State Opening, the PM shall read his Speech to the Nation and the Leader of the Opposition shall have a chance to rebut. A Living Cosa shall be carried out at the same time, on the Government's first Clark. At the start of the State Opening, the new PM will be sworn in publicly. The State Opening shall feature food, drink, and as many Talossans as possible will be invited to attend. (15RC9)

2. The Cosa authorises a question and answer period during Living Cosas. This will be called "Terpelaziuns" ('enquiries') or, for short, "Terps," or "Question Time." During Terpelaziuns, each MC may ask any other MC one question (plus a follow-up) and expect to receive some sort of answer. The Opposition Leader shall put the first question. Questions shall alternate between Government and Opposition members until all MCs on one side or the other have spoken. The remaining MCs may then put questions. Questions will be politely phrased in the third person and directed at the Speaker. Order of Questioners will be determined on an ad hoc basis by the Speaker. (14RC9)
2.1. Any Member of the Cosa (MC) or Senator may at any time between the First and Last Clark of a Cosa Term, table in “The Ziu” board on Witt, or its equivalent, a “c (PQ)” or “Terp” in a new thread or its equivalent. (44RZ1) 2.2. The PQ or Terp may ask one question to a named Member of the Government relating to Public Affairs connected with their Ministry or on matters of administration for which they are officially responsible. 2.3. There is no limit to the number of PQs or Terps a MC or Senator may submit in any given Clark. 2.4. Any PQ or Terp that is submitted by a MC or Senator in accordance with Section 1 above, must be answered by the named Minister within seven (7) days of the question being tabled. Should the Minister be unavailable to answer the question within the seven (7) days, the question shall be redirected to the Prime Minister or his/her appointed Deputy who shall be granted a further seven (7) days to answer the aforementioned question. With the agreement of the questioner, there may be a extension of seven (7) days on top of this period. However, the period from the asking of the question to the answering of the question, shall in no circumstances exceed twenty one (21) days. 2.5. For the purpose of subsection (a) above, “unavailable” means being unable for to access Witt, or its equivalent, for a acceptable and reasonable reason. Having Logged into or visited Witt during the seven day period, or its equivalent and having not seen or ignored the PQ or Terp, shall not constituent being unavailable. (c) This provision shall not apply PQs or Terps which refer to matters of Security or Defence of His Majesty’s Realm and/or any project(s), Correspondence or activities in which the Government has deemed and classed as confidential or its release may damage the Kingdom in any shape or form. Such questions may not be answered by any Minister. 2.6. The Minister must answer the question in the same thread or its equivalent as the original question and the questioner may ask one (1) supplementary question, in which subsection (a) above applies, with the seven days starting from the date the supplementary question is asked. 2.7. Failure to answer a question within the given timeframe shall constitute an offense and a Minister if found guilty of such a offense, will be subject to a punishment at the discretion of the Courts. 2.8. It shall be a defence to the Minister if the questioner, notwithstanding any other legitimate defences, did not or failed to: (i) Correctly title his/her question or; (ii) Ask a clear question. E.g. An ambiguous question, in which the Minister tried to clarify but failed to do so in the timeframe and did not subsequently answer. Or; (iii) Post his/her question in the correct board, or; (iv) Engage with the Minister in trying to answer his/her question or; (v) Direct the question to one named Minister.
3. All MCs must vote for themselves, and not through surrogates. They have innumerable options to communicate their own votes to the Secretary of State or to Undersecretary of State, including postcards, letters and phone calls. MCs are responsible for casting their own votes with their own assigned seats, and cannot cast votes for other MCs. If an MC will be unavailable to vote for some reason during any particular month, they may inform the Secretary or Undersecretary that they wish to vote exactly as another, named MC. That will be considered the sole justification for MC surrogate voting. (6RC30, 16RC11)
3.1. A person who is named as a Proxy Vote for another in a Living Cosâ is under the moral and legal obligation, whenever possible, to represent the original seat-holder's wishes and intentions on specific Ziu bills and the Vote of Confidence, whenever and however he is instructed or publicly notified to do so. (24RZ44)

4. A difference shall exist (and be spelled out in future bills) between committees (which are set up as standing committees, free to issue reports at any time) and Royal Commissions (or Commissions Royal) which are set up on an ad hoc basis and charged with a specific one-time task such as preparing a dossier or White Paper on a specific problem, and presenting the same to the Cosa. Once a Commission's paper is done, the Commission has fulfilled its duty and ceases to exist. (8RC35)

5. The Secretary of State will punish all Members of the Cosâ who cast invalid votes in the Vote of Confidence; the punishment being the declaration of said member's votes in the same Clark as null and void. (23RZ39)

6. His Majesty, when affixing His Royal Seal to Bills sent to him by this Ziu, may exclaim with all His Royal Royal-ness in the National Language of Our Nation, "El Regeu en volt." (25RZ17)

7. His Majesty, when acting out His Constitutional and Traditional Duty to Protect the Citizens of His Kingdom from Poor Government, decides to Withhold His Royal Seal from said Bill sent by said Ziu, may exclaim with all His Truth-and-Justice-ness in said National Language of said Kingdom, "El Regeu non en volt."

8. If the Prime Minister or a member of the Government party proposes a bill, and with the PM's permission marks it as a Government Bill, the Clark will denote this as a bill proposed by "HM Government, represented by" the member. If the Opposition Leader, or a member of the Opposition proposes a bill, and with the Opposition Leader's or the member's Party Leader's permission marks it as an Opposition Bill, the Clark will denote this as a bill proposed by "HM Loyal Opposition, represented by" the member. Any other bill will be called a Private Member's Bill, and will be denoted in the Clark the same way they've always been. (25RZ31)

9. Official non-Ziu titles may also be used when a member of the Ziu submit a bill, if the submitter feels that he is submitting a bill in another capacity as Ziu member. Such a title shall be called a "Limousine" or by its Talossan equivalent. A title of Senator, Distain or Member of the Cosa is a Ziu title, and as such not a Limousine. A person can only be entitled to a Limousine if he is both a member of the Ziu and holds an official title. A Limousine may contain, but is not restricted to: a governor's title, a minister or deputy minister's title, or a title conferred by a national organization such as the CÙG or the Secretary of State's office. This is not a means to allow non members of the Ziu to post bills using their Limousine, nor does this provision allow any submitter to use unofficial titles or party-specific titles. (32RZ13)
9.1. The use of a Limousine instead of a ziu title engages that person in that capacity. For example, a bill submitted by a Cosa member as being "Minister of Culture" indicates that the bill is trully submitted in the name of the Minister of Culture.
10. Members of Cosa shall be free to represent any constituency within the geographic boundaries of the Kingdom of Talossa including any and all of its territories and overseas colonies. Any Member wishing to represent a constituency shall publicly declare such representation before the conclusion of the first Clark following a General Election. (44RZ25) (48RZ3)

11. The Senatorial Medal of Honour may be awarded by the Senate for meritorious or honourable service to State or Nation. This award, awarded only and solely by a resolution in the Senate given the Royal Assent, will be the highest honour bestowed by the Talossan legislature. This award has a single class, and recipients may, in official RT affairs, affix the initials "S.H." (Senatorial Honour) after his/her name. (25RZ77)

12. The "Medal of Cincinnatus" may be awarded by the King in recognition for acts of extraordinary Talossanicity in the face of opposition. Recipients of this Medal would be entitled to follow their names with the honorific "Cin.". (37RZ8)

13. It is strongly suggested that MCs limit their bill submissions to five at the very most for each Clark. (25RZ91)

14. If there is the SLIGHTEST problem with any bill in excess of five (misspellings, inorganicity, etc.), the Secretary of State is empowered to refuse to put same on the Clark.

15. If at all possible, bills presented for review in the Hopper should be translated into Talossan before being Clarked. (38RZ12)

16. The King shall sign a physical printed copy of bills at the time they pass into law, and collect these bills for posterity.

17. Except in cases where the current Secretary of State is no longer able or eligible to perform his duties, any nominations of a new secretary of state must take effect on the day of the normal publication of a Clark. If the normally scheduled Clark is not published by the previous Secretary of State on the appropriate day, the new Secretary of State can still start his duties, starting with the publication of the Clark. (32RZ2)

18. No person shall hold more seats in the Cosa than ten times the total number of seats in the Cosa divided by the number of ballots cast for the Cosa in the most recent General Election, rounded up to the next integer.

Shall be amended to read;

1. Future elections shall be followed, when practical, by an official Living Cosă which shall be styled the “State Opening of the Cosa”. At the State Opening, the Prime Minister shall read his Speech to the Nation, and the Leader of the Opposition shall have a chance to rebut. A Living Cosă shall be carried out at the same time, on the Government's first Clark. At the start of the State Opening, the new Prime Minister will be sworn in publicly. The State Opening shall feature food, drink, and as many Talossans as possible will be invited to attend. (15RC9)

2. The Cosă authorises a question and answer period during Living Cosăs. This will be called “Terpelaziuns” ('enquiries') or, for short, “Terps”, or “Question Time”. During Terpelaziuns, each MC may ask any other MC one question (plus a follow-up), and expect to receive some sort of answer. The Opposition Leader shall put the first question. Questions shall alternate between Government and Opposition members until all MCs on one side or the other have spoken. The remaining MCs may then put questions. Questions will be politely phrased in the third person and directed at the Speaker. Order of Questioners will be determined on an ad hoc basis by the Speaker. (14RC9)
2.1. Any Member of the Cosă (MC) or Senator may at any time between the First and Last Clark of a Cosă Term, table in “The Ziu” board on Witt, or its equivalent, a “c (PQ)” or “Terp” in a new thread or its equivalent. (44RZ1)
2.2. The PQ or Terp may ask one question to a named Member of the Government relating to Public Affairs connected with their Ministry or on matters of administration for which they are officially responsible.
2.3. There is no limit to the number of PQs or Terps a MC or Senator may submit in any given Clark.
2.4. Any PQ or Terp that is submitted by a MC or Senator in accordance with the provisions of H.2, must be answered by the named Minister within seven (7) days of the question being tabled. Should the Minister be unavailable to answer the question within the seven (7) days, the question shall be redirected to the Prime Minister or his/her appointed Deputy who shall be granted a further seven (7) days to answer the aforementioned question. With the agreement of the questioner, there may be a extension of seven (7) days on top of this period. However, the period from the asking of the question to the answering of the question, shall in no circumstances exceed twenty one (21) days.
2.5. For the purpose of H.2.4, “unavailable” means being unable to access Witt, or its equivalent, for an acceptable and reasonable reason. Having logged into, or visited Witt, or its equivalent, during the seven day period, and having not seen, or ignored the PQ or Terp, shall not constitute being unavailable. (c) This provision shall not apply PQs or Terps, which refer to matters of Security or Defence of His Majesty’s Realm and/or any project(s), correspondence, or activities, in which the Government has deemed, and classified as confidential, or which in its release may damage the Kingdom in any shape or form. Such questions may not be answered by any Minister.
2.6. The Minister must answer the question in the same thread or its equivalent as the original question and the questioner may ask one (1) supplementary question, in which the provisions of H.2 apply, with the seven days starting from the date the supplementary question is asked.
2.7. Failure to answer a question within the given timeframe shall constitute an offence, and a Minister, if found guilty of such a offence, will be subject to a punishment at the discretion of the Courts.
2.8. It shall be a defence to the Minister if the questioner, notwithstanding any other legitimate defences, did not, or failed to

2.8.1 correctly title his/her question

2.8.2 ask a clear question. E.g. an ambiguous question, in which the Minister tried to clarify, but failed to do so in the time frame, and did not subsequently answer.

2.8.3 post his/her question in the correct board

2.8.4 engage with the Minister in trying to answer his/her question

2.8.5 direct the question to one named Minister.

3. All MCs must vote for themselves, and not through surrogates. They have innumerable options to communicate their own votes to the Secretary of State or to Undersecretaries of State, including postcards, letters and phone calls. MCs are responsible for casting their own votes with their own assigned seats, and cannot cast votes for other MCs. If an MC will be unavailable to vote for some reason during any particular month, they may inform the Secretary or an Undersecretary that they wish to vote exactly as another, named MC. That will be considered the sole justification for MC surrogate voting. (6RC30, 16RC11)
3.1. A person who is named as a Proxy Vote for another in a Living Cosă is under the moral and legal obligation, whenever possible, to represent the original seat-holder's wishes and intentions on specific Ziu bills and the Vote of Confidence, whenever and however he is instructed, or publicly notified to do so. (24RZ44)

4. The Secretary of State will punish all Members of the Cosă who cast invalid votes in the Vote of Confidence; the punishment being the declaration of said member's votes in the same Clark as null and void. (23RZ39)

5. A difference shall exist (and be spelled out in future bills) between committees (which are set up as standing committees, free to issue reports at any time) and Royal Commissions (or Commissions Royal) which are set up on an ad hoc basis and charged with a specific one-time task such as preparing a dossier or White Paper on a specific problem, and presenting the same to the Cosă. Once a Commission's paper is done, the Commission has fulfilled its duty, and ceases to exist. (8RC35)

6. No bill may be published in a Clark unless it has spent at least ten days in the Hopper as a legislative proposal, except according to H.6.1
6.1 For the first Clark to be published in a Cosă term, no bill may be published in a Clark unless it has spent at least five days in the Hopper as a legislative proposal
6.2 The Secretary of State is under no obligation to create a permanent record of legislative proposals in “The Hopper.”
6.3 The Secretary of State shall remove legislative proposals from “The Hopper” at the request of the author.
6.4 If a legislative proposal has remained in the “The Hopper” for more than 59 days, the Secretary of State may remove it.
6.5 Bills must be submitted to the Secretary of State more than 24 hours before the publication of the Clark.
6.6 Bills received less than 24 hours before publication of the Clark shall be published in the next Clark or postponed for one Clark, at the Secretary of State's discretion.

7. A legislative proposal should be followed by the words “Uréu q'estadra så” (or “Proposed by”), and the name of the author, and the capacity in which the author is offering the proposal. A legislative proposal may be submitted by multiple sponsors, but the legislator whose name is listed first after the words “Uréu q'estadra så” (or “Proposed by”) is considered the author of the legislative proposal.
7.1 Official non-Ziu titles may also be used when a member of the Ziu submit a bill, if the submitter feels that he is submitting a bill in another capacity than as a Ziu member. Such a title shall be called a “Limousine”, or by its Talossan equivalent. A title of Senator, Distain or Member of the Cosă is a Ziu title, and as such not a Limousine. A person can only be entitled to a Limousine if he is both a member of the Ziu and holds an official title. A Limousine may contain, but is not restricted to: a governor's title, a minister or deputy minister's title, or a title conferred by a national organisation, such as the CÚG, or the Secretary of State's office. This is not a means to allow non-members of the Ziu to post bills using their Limousine, nor does this provision allow any submitter to use unofficial titles or party-specific titles. (32RZ13)
7.2 The use of a Limousine instead of a Ziu title engages that person in that capacity. For example, a bill submitted by a Cosă member as being “Minister of Culture” indicates that the bill is truly submitted in the name of the Minister of Culture.

8. If the Prime Minister, or a member of the Government party, proposes a bill, and with the Prime Minister's permission marks it as a Government Bill, the Clark will denote this as a bill proposed by “HM Government, represented by”, before the name of the member. If the Opposition Leader, or a member of the Opposition, proposes a bill, and, with the Opposition Leader's or the member's Party Leader's permission, marks it as an Opposition Bill, the Clark will denote this as a bill proposed by “HM Loyal Opposition, represented by”, followed by the member's name. Any other bill will be called a Private Member's Bill, and will be denoted in the Clark the same way they have always been. (25RZ31)

9. Members of Cosă shall be free to represent any constituency within the geographic boundaries of the Kingdom of Talossa, including any and all of its territories and overseas colonies. Any Member wishing to represent a constituency shall publicly declare such representation before the conclusion of the first Clark following a General Election. (44RZ25) (48RZ3)

10. It is strongly suggested that MCs limit their bill submissions to five at the very most for each Clark. (25RZ91)

11. The Secretary of State is empowered to refuse to put a certain bill on a Clark if said bill;
11.1 has the SLIGHTEST problem in excess of five (misspellings, inorganicity, etc.); and/or
11.2 is not clearly typed or word-processed; and/or
11.3 is so substantially different from its original form as a legislative proposal that it constitutes a significantly different proposal.

12. If at all possible, bills presented for review in the Hopper should be translated into Talossan before being Clarked. (38RZ12)

13. Except in cases where the current Secretary of State is no longer able or eligible to perform his duties, any nominations of a new secretary of state must take effect on the day of the normal publication of a Clark. If the normally scheduled Clark is not published by the previous Secretary of State on the appropriate day, the new Secretary of State can still start his duties, starting with the publication of the Clark. (32RZ2)

14. No person shall hold more seats in the Cosă than ten times the total number of seats in the Cosă divided by the number of ballots cast for the Cosa in the most recent General Election, rounded up to the next integer.

15. His Majesty, when affixing His Royal Seal to Bills sent to him by the Ziu, may exclaim with all His Royal Royal-ness in the National Language of Our Nation, “El Regeu en volt.” (25RZ17)

16. His Majesty, when acting out His constitutional and traditional duty to protect the Citizens of His Kingdom from poor Government, decides to withhold His Royal Seal from said Bill sent by said Ziu, may exclaim with all His Truth-and-Justice-ness in said National Language of said Kingdom, "El Regeu non en volt."

17. The King shall sign a physical printed copy of bills at the time they pass into law, and collect these bills for posterity.

18. The Senatorial Medal of Honour may be awarded by the Senate for meritorious or honourable service to State or Nation. This award, awarded only and solely by a resolution in the Senate given the Royal Assent, will be the highest honour bestowed by the Talossan legislature. This award has a single class, and recipients may, in official RT affairs, affix the initials “S.H.” (Senatorial Honour) after their name. (25RZ77)

19. The “Medal of Cincinnatus” may be awarded by the King in recognition for acts of extraordinary Talossanicity in the face of opposition. Recipients of this Medal are entitled to follow their names with the honorific “Cin.” (37RZ8)

RZ23 - The Mandatory Cosa Lists Act and Amendment

Published in Clark #5

Statute

WHEREAS A voter should know which individuals they are voting for when casting a vote for a certain party, and

WHEREAS This will serve to increase accountability to the voters

THEREFORE Org.VIII.3, which currently reads;

Each party shall assign its seats to such individuals as it sees fit, provided that each such individual is eligible to serve in the Cosa under this article and is assigned a whole number of seats. The Ziu may by law establish a maximum number of seats that any one Member of the Cosa may hold by law, but the minimum number of Members of the Cosa shall be no less than the number of Senators, and the same limit shall apply to all Members of the Cosa, and any changes to the limit shall take effect no earlier than the distribution of seats after the next General Election.

shall be amended to read

Each party shall assign its seats to such individuals as it sees fit, subject to regulations regarding the reporting of such individuals prior to elections set forth by law, provided that each such individual is eligible to serve in the Cosa under this article and is assigned a whole number of seats. The Ziu may by law establish a maximum number of seats that any one Member of the Cosa may hold by law, but the minimum number of Members of the Cosa shall be no less than the number of Senators, and the same limit shall apply to all Members of the Cosa, and any changes to the limit shall take effect no earlier than the distribution of seats after the next General Election.

FURTHERMORE, upon the ratification of the above amendment by the People of Talossa, a new subsubsection B.2.3 shall added to el Lexhatx which reads;

B.2.3 The ballot must also include, for each party contesting the election, a list of citizens to whom the party intends to award Cosa seats. If a party does not submit a candidate list to the Secretary of State before the election, the party leader is assigned all seats won, and seats which cannot be held by the Party Leader are forfeited.

    B.2.3.1 Before the conclusion of the first Clark, each party leader must submit to the Secretary of State a report containing the distribution of the seats won in the election

        B.2.3.1.1 The party leader may assign seats to any eligible citizen(s) they see fit, so long as the following criteria are met:
            B.2.3.1.1.1 The party's internal procedures are followed

B.2.3.1.1.2 No one who was not named on the list is assigned more seats than any eligible citizen who was named on the list

B.2.3.1.1.3 The total number of seats awarded to those not on the list does not exceed 1/3 of all seats won by the party

B.2.3.1.1.4 No person occupies more than the legal number of seats.

B.2.3.1.2 Any person assigned a seat as above may decline to take their seats in which case they will be reallocated according to the criteria of B.2.3.1.1.

B.2.3.1.3 If a party cannot assign all of their seats under the criteria of B.2.3.1.1, the additional seats are forfeited.

Other subsubsections in B.2 are renumbered accordingly.

RZ24 - The Summer is Magic amendment

Published in Clark #6

Rejected by the Senäts

WHEREAS We often have a July month of Recess due to inactivity, and often, the month of August isn't much better AND

WHEREAS we don't always have a month of recess AND

WHEREAS there can be only one! AND

WHEREAS Summer is Magic...

THEREFORE The Ziu resolves to put to a referendum the following addition to Section 3 of Article XIII of the Organic Law:

If no month of Recess was called in the previous Cosa and a recess is called for the month of July, the Seneschal may instead decide to create two months of recess for July and August.

So that the full section now reads:

Section 3

The Seneschál may insert between any two Clarks, or after the final Clark, a "month of recess" in which no Clark is published and no Cosâ or Senäts business is conducted. No more than one "month of recess" may be declared during any one term of office. If no month of Recess was called in the previous Cosa and a recess is called for the month of July, the Seneschal may instead decide to create two months of recess for July and August.

RZ25 - The 12 month calendar Amendment - 8 Clark version

Published in Clark #6

Rejected by the Senäts

WHEREAS there were talks about creating fixed dates elections, in order to provide reliability and predictability for the electors AND

WHEREAS no one ever did anything about it AND

WHEREAS This proposal provides a single election per year, in January 15th, skipping the holiday season and two months of recess during the summer AND

WHEREAS we get exactly 4 Clarks before the summer break and 4 Clarks after the summer break, a perfect symmetry AND

WHEREAS We could call each of the 4 Clark period a "session" so that even if we have the same MC, we could ask the government to offer a different "agenda" for each AND

WHEREAS Nothing prevents us to later easily change the summer recess to a 2 months election if we later feel that 1 year is too long AND

WHEREAS This proposal, unlike the first version, doesn't have an election occurring at the same time as the Clark, staying closer to tradition AND

WHEREAS this proposal allows for a new coalition if the government fails AND

THEREFORE the Ziu resolves to put in a referendum the following changes to the Organic Law

Section 3 of article 6 which currently reads:

All elections to the Cosa are to be conducted during a period beginning from the fifteenth day of the calendar month following the dissolution of the prior Cosa until 7:30 p.m. on the first day of the subsequent month. The first day of this period (the fifteenth) is called the "Balloting Day" and the final day is called the "Election Deadline."

Is replaced with:

All elections to the Cosa are to be conducted during a period beginning from the fifteenth day of the calendar month of January until 7:30 p.m. on the first day of February. The first day of this period (the fifteenth) is called the "Balloting Day" and the final day is called the "Election Deadline."

Section 1 of Article XIII which currently reads:

Duration of the Cosâ. The Cosâ convenes on the first day of the month after general elections, to coincide with the publication of the first Clark. Its term is roughly six months, each month coinciding with a Clark. During its last month, the King shall issue a Writ of Dissolution ending its term. At the time the Cosâ is dissolved, all its members shall resign, but any Members holding positions in the Government may remain in those positions till the outcome of the election is resolved.

Is replaced by:

Duration of the Cosâ. The Cosâ convenes on the first day of the month after general elections (March), to coincide with the publication of the first Clark. Its term is exactly 10 months, each month (except for July and August) coinciding with a specific Clark (for example, September is Clark #5). During its last month (December) the King shall issue a Writ of Dissolution ending its term. At the time the Cosâ is dissolved, all its members shall resign, but any Members holding positions in the Government may remain in those positions till the outcome of the election is resolved. When this amendment is ratified, a transition period will be applied so that the following Cosa will have its election during the first of the following two events: After its 6th Clark is published, or in July of that year.

In Section 2 of Article XIII, the word "six-month" is replaced by "eight-month", and the words "five Clarks" are replaced by "Seven Clarks"

Section 3 of Article XIII which currently reads:

The Seneschál may insert between any two Clarks, or after the final Clark, a "month of recess" in which no Clark is published and no Cosâ or Senäts business is conducted. No more than one "month of recess" may be declared during any one term of office.

Is replaced by (explicitly overriding and taking priority over any other amendments put to referendum affecting this section in the same election):

The months of July and August are months of recess in which no Clark is published and no Cosâ or Senäts business is conducted.

Section 4 of Article XIII is removed

The part os Section 6 of Article XIII which currently reads:

the King shall dissolve the Cosâ and call new elections.

Is replaced by (unless another bill is ratified which proposed a similar mechanic in which case it would take priority over this replacement):

the King shall select a new Senechal he feels would be best able to succeed at a Vote of Confidence

Section 3 of Article IV which currently reads:

Each time the Cosa shall be dissolved, there shall be an election for one-third of the total Senate seats (rounded to the nearest whole number). The exact fixed order of rotation of provinces for elections shall be set by law and shall require two-thirds vote in the Cosa with approval by the King and the Senäts to be modified.

Is replaced by:

Each time the Cosa shall be dissolved, there shall be an election for approximately one-half of the total Senate seats (rounded to the nearest whole number) so that each Senator is elected for 2 years. The exact fixed order of rotation of provinces for elections shall be set by law and shall require two-thirds vote in the Cosa with approval by the King and the Senäts to be modified.

RZ26 - The Ranked Choice is the Best Choice Amendment

Published in Clark #6

Statute

WHEREAS The Chancery currently uses the First-Past-The-Post method of voting to conduct Senate elections, and

WHEREAS First-Past-The-Post voting is responsible for a variety of electoral ills, such as producing winners who do not actually have majority support, and forcing voters to cast ballots strategically instead of supporting the candidate they actually prefer the most, and

WHEREAS We all know how First-Past-The-Post voting is working out for our giant friendly neighbor this election cycle, and

WHEREAS Ranked Choice Voting (aka Instant Runoff Voting or Alternative Voting) is far superior to First-Past-The-Post and eliminates all of the aforementioned ills, because it allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, and

WHEREAS This video is an brilliant explanation of why Ranked Choice Voting is so good

THEREFORE Section 6 of Article IV, which currently reads;

Any Senatorial election conducted by the Chancery shall be conducted according to the provisions given in Section 6 of Article VII concerning election to the Cosa, and the candidate receiving a plurality of the vote shall be declared the winner. In case of a tie between two or more candidates, the executive officer of the province shall select one of those candidates to be the Senator.

is amended to read;

Any Senatorial election conducted by the Chancery shall be conducted according to the provisions given in Section 6 of Article VII concerning election to the Cosa, and utilize Ranked Choice Voting. In case of a tie between two or more candidates, the executive officer of the province shall select one of those candidates to be the Senator.

RZ27 - The OrgLaw Standing Committee Bill No. 2 (Article 10)

Published in Clark #6

Rejected by the Senäts

WHEREAS The Organic Law has many provisions which would best be moved to statutory law, and

WHEREAS A simpler, clearer Organic Law would encourage more people to read it, which would result in a more knowledgeable citizenry, and

WHEREAS Section 4 of Article X is redundant given the public's "right to know" in the Fourth Covenant, and given that reporting on the votes of the Ziu are already a duty of the SoS according to Lexh.C.1.1, and

WHEREAS Section 7 is also redundant, because Section 5 says the same thing, and

THEREFORE Section 4 of Article X of the Organic Law, which currently reads;

After the close of Ziu business, the Secretary will make known to the press as soon as possible the results of the votes. The next Clark will publish a list of who voted for what bill, and which bills won or lost, and by how much.

is hereby repealed.

FURTHERMORE Section 7 of Article X of the Organic Law, which currently reads;

Except where otherwise provided in this Organic Law, when determining the outcome of a vote in either house of the Ziu, "austanéu" votes will not be counted.

is hereby repealed.

The other sections of Article X are renumbered accordingly.

RZ28 - Túischac'h Disentrenchment Amendment

Published in Clark #6

Statute

WHEREAS recent well-intentioned reforms to the selection process for the office of Túischac'h have made it difficult to keep that office filled, and

WHEREAS the Túischac'h serves no essential organic function, so there appears to be no reason why it should not be easier to change the manner of his or her selection, therefore

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa that the following amendment to the Organic Law be recommended to the citizenry for ratification:

That Article XII, Section 9 of the Organic Law which currently reads:

The King shall appoint a Member of the Cosa to serve as Speaker of the Cosa (Talossan: el Túischac'h), on the advice of a simple majority vote in the Cosa for the upcoming term. The Speaker shall preside, direct and maintain order during Living Cosas, in an unbiased fashion. Otherwise, his function will be to advise Members of Cosa of appropriate decorum. He is considered the honourable President of the Cosâ and shall be awarded all due veneration when serving as such.

be deleted.

ADDITIONALLY, be it enacted by the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa that upon the ratification of the amendment to Organic Law proposed above, the following shall come immediately into force:

El Lexhatx, Section H.19, which currently reads:

19. Before the first Clark of a new Cosâ, and then again whenever the office of Túischac'h becomes vacant, the MCs shall convene as an Electoral Conclave under the leadership of the outgoing Túischac'h, or if none is available, the chronologically oldest MC. This Conclave shall decide upon a nominee for Túischac'h, who shall have the support of at least 50%+1 of the Cosa seats, and said nominee shall present himself for formal appointment to the King, as stated in OrgLaw XII.9. (48RZ29)

19.1 If there is no Túischac'h nor a nominee as chosen above on the first day of the month, a Warrant of Prorogation shall be issued as in OrgLaw XIII.2 if it is the first Clark of the Cosâ; or otherwise, a month of recess shall be declared as in OrgLaw XIII.3

shall be amended to read:

19. The King shall appoint a Member of the Cosa to serve as Speaker of the Cosa (Talossan: el Túischac'h) for the upcoming term, on the advice of the Seneschal after consultation with the leaders of all parties represented in the Cosa. The Speaker shall preside, direct and maintain order during Living Cosas, in an unbiased fashion. Otherwise, his function will be to advise Members of the Cosa of appropriate decorum. He is considered the honourable President of the Cosâ and shall be awarded all due veneration when serving as such.

RZ29 - The Joseph McCarthy Amendment

Published in Clark #6

Statute

The Joseph McCarthy Amendment

WHEREAS, expulsion from the Greatest (albeit unrecognized) Country on Earth is the highest form of punishment our judicial system can levy, and

WHEREAS, as such, imposing such a penalty should not be taken lightly, and

WHEREAS, currently, Organic Law permits the Uppermost Cort to impose the penalty upon citizens it convicts of "anti-Talossan activities", and

WHEREAS, it obviously fails to define what exactly "anti-Talossan activities" are, and

WHEREAS, this sounds very similar to the (US) House Un-American Activities Committee to me, and

WHEREAS, we don't need McCarthyism in Talossa, so

THEREFORE, the Ziu hereby resolves to put forward the following amendment to the Citizenry for ratification:

Article XVII, Section 5 of Organic Law which currently reads:

If the Uppermost Cort shall at any subsequent time find any fraud or dishonesty in a Citizen's original application for citizenship, including his statements to the Cort or to Cosâ members; or if the Uppermost Cort shall convict the Citizen for anti-Talossan activities, it may impose the penalty of expulsion from Talossa. The King may commute such a sentence.

shall be amended to read:

If the Uppermost Cort shall at any subsequent time find any fraud or dishonesty in a Citizen's original application for citizenship, including his statements to the Cort or to Cosâ members, it may impose the penalty of expulsion from Talossa. The King may commute such a sentence.

RZ30 - The 12 month calendar Amendment - 5 Clarks Version

Published in Clark #6

Rejected by the ZIU

WHEREAS there were talks about creating fixed elections AND

WHEREAS no one ever did anything about it AND

WHEREAS I am not sure it's a good idea, but perhaps this can strike a discussion

THEREFORE the Ziu resolves to put in a referendum the following changes to the Organic Law, but only if this amendment gets more Cosa votes than RZ25, in which case the referendum for RZ25 is hereby cancelled and RZ25 is considered to have failed.

Section 3 of article 6 which currently reads:

All elections to the Cosa are to be conducted during a period beginning from the fifteenth day of the calendar month following the dissolution of the prior Cosa until 7:30 p.m. on the first day of the subsequent month. The first day of this period (the fifteenth) is called the "Balloting Day" and the final day is called the "Election Deadline."

Is replaced with:

All elections to the Cosa are to be conducted during a period beginning from the 1st day of the calendar months of December and June until 7:30 p.m. on the 15th day of the same month. The first day of this period (the 1st) is called the "Balloting Day" and the final day is called the "Election Deadline."

Section 1 of Article XIII which currently reads:

Duration of the Cosâ. The Cosâ convenes on the first day of the month after general elections, to coincide with the publication of the first Clark. Its term is roughly six months, each month coinciding with a Clark. During its last month the King shall issue a Writ of Dissolution ending its term. At the time the Cosâ is dissolved, all its members shall resign, but any Members holding positions in the Government may remain in those positions till the outcome of the election is resolved.

Is replaced by:

Duration of the Cosâ. The Cosâ convenes on the first day of the month after general elections (either February or August), to coincide with the publication of the first Clark. Its term is exactly five months, each month coinciding with a Clark. During its last month the King shall issue a Writ of Dissolution ending its term. At the time the Cosâ is dissolved, all its members shall resign, but any Members holding positions in the Government may remain in those positions till the outcome of the election is resolved.

In Section 2 of Article XIII, the word "six-month" is replaced by "five-month"

Section 3 of Article XIII is removed

Section 4 of Article XIII is removed

The part of Section 6 of Article XIII which currently reads:

the King shall dissolve the Cosâ and call new elections.

Is replaced by:

the King shall select a new Senechal he feels would be best able to succeed at a Vote of Confidence
