RZ2 - The Naval Organization & Command Act - Revised

Published in Clark #1

Rejected by the Senäts

WHEREAS, "The Glorious (but Unarmed) Royal Fleet Act" submitted by Robert Madison and Wes Erni officially created the Royal Talossan Navy on 30 November 1987, and

WHEREAS, in July of 1998, former Prime Minister Chirisch Caveir re-established Talossa’s Navy by way of Prime Dictate, and

WHEREAS, “The Naval Reorganization Act” (35RZ32) did little more than formally align the Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Talossa into the BUREAU OF THE NAVY and lay out a loose rank structure with little regard to the rich & deep history, heraldry, and tradition of the Armed Services community, now

THEREFORE, the current body of Section I of the el Lexhatx shall be rescinded and replaced TEMPORARILY with:

“The Deputy Minister of the Interior for Defence shall, in consultation with the Admiral of the Fleet and with approval of the Interior Ministry, promulgate a code of military regulations to be known as the Uniform Code of Military Organization (UCMO) for the purpose of the organization, training and discipline of the Talossan Armed Forces. The UCMO shall reflect the professionalism of the Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Talossa as well as recognize the relations of our great nation’s place in retrospect to the other great nations and allied forces of the world.”

Upon the completion of the UMCO and it's approval as a functional base text of a modern military code by the Zui, Section I shall be updated and replaced with the new UMCO under the condition that it is codified and structured to align properly with the other Section of the el Lexhatx. The passage of this bill authorizes the development of UMCO, and establishes said Code's authority.

RZ3 - The 110100100 Act

Published in Clark #1

Statute

WHEREAS It is the right of all persons to be free, and

WHEREAS Government exists to protect that right, and

WHEREAS Freedom is all too often taken away for no good reason, and

WHEREAS When a crime has no ill effect on anyone besides the person who committed it, it should not be a crime, and

WHEREAS By now you probably realize that I am indeed talking about marijuana, and

WHEREAS I have never smoked and I never will, and

WHEREAS That is a personal choice, and

WHEREAS I should not make personal choices for people other than myself, and

WHEREAS The government definitely shouldn't make personal choices for anyone, and

WHEREAS I, or most people, have never been negatively impacted by someone else smoking marijuana, and

WHEREAS There is more reason to ban alcohol or cigarettes due to negative externalities than marijuana, and everyone agrees we shouldn't ban those, and

WHEREAS That is because when Prohibition was tried in the United States, it was an utter and spectacular failure that led to an increase in alcohol consumption and the rise of organized crime, and

WHEREAS We learned this lesson with alcohol, but few have seemed to learn that drug cartels are fueled by drug control laws, and

WHEREAS While drug laws don't succeed in stopping people from doing drugs or in stopping drug cartels, they do succeed in imprisoning thousands of people who didn't hurt anyone besides themselves, and in ensuring that now they will be unable to find a job after their release thanks to their criminal record, if you count that as success, which most people wouldn't, and

WHEREAS Even if you overlook the huge moral quandary that arises, it is still a huge waste of money, since the government has to pay to enforce the laws and imprison all of these people, and

WHEREAS That's not even considering all of the productivity lost when people are sitting around in jail for no good reason and then still can't work after their release, and

WHEREAS I started this string of whereases with high-minded language about liberty for multiple reasons, and

WHEREAS One reason was to show that support for cannabis legalization can be defended from base principles, and that not everyone who thinks it should be legalized is a stoner, and

WHEREAS Another reason is to show that you don't have to be "socially liberal" in the macro-political world to support this cause, and

WHEREAS It's not really a secret that I am generally more conservative in macro-politics than most Talossan citizens, and

WHEREAS Nonetheless I still strongly support cannabis legalization, and

WHEREAS Our Giant Friendly Neighbor continues to move in the right direction on this issue, and

WHEREAS Let's give them a nudge

THEREFORE subsection A.1.6, which currently reads:

1.6. Chapter 961 Controlled Substances

is amended to read:

1.6 Chapter 961 Controlled Substances, subject to A.1.6.1

1.6.1 The possession, cultivation, manufacture, import, transport, export, and use of cannabis and related paraphernalia, medical or otherwise, shall be legal for all persons of at least eighteen years of age within the Kingdom of Talossa. The possession, cultivation, manufacture, import, transport, export, and use of medical cannabis and related medical paraphernalia shall be legal for all within the Kingdom of Talossa.

1.6.1.1 "Medical cannabis" shall be defined as cannabis prescribed by a licensed medical doctor to treat a malady.

1.6.1.2 If any person of at least eighteen years of age facilitates or otherwise encourages the non-medical possession, cultivation, manufacture, import, transport, export, or use of cannabis or related paraphernalia by any person under the age of eighteen, he or she shall be charged with a Class A misdemeanor.

1.6.1.3 A person under eighteen years of age shall only be penalized for the non-medical possession, cultivation, manufacture, import, transport, export, or use of cannabis or related paraphernalia, or the facilitation or other encouragement of the same by another person under the age of eighteen, if apprehended in flagrante delicto. In that case, the apprehending officer shall seize and destroy the contraband, and tell that person that "using cannabis other than for medical reasons is very bad for your health." No criminal charge nor entry on a criminal record shall be made under this provision.

Whereas according to El Lexhatx immigrants from "all nations in Africa north of the Equator not listed elsewhere" are assigned to Benito, and

Whereas according to El Lexhatx immigrants from "all nations in Africa north of the Equator not listed elsewhere" are assigned to Fiôvâ, and

Whereas this appears to be a mistake, and

Whereas the island nations of eastern Africa go unmentioned, and

Whereas if we need to make a change anyway, we might as well explicitly mention them, and

Whereas in the summary of the Catchment Area Reform Act by the author it is mentioned that "10. Southern Africa goes to Fiova", now

Therefore Lex.E.7.11., which currently reads:

"7.11. FIOVA PROVINCE. Talossan citizens living in the following areas shall be assigned to Fiova Province: the nations of Australia, New Zealand, all Oceanian nations, all Asian nations not listed elsewhere, Brazil, South Africa, Madagascar, Lesotho, Swaziland, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Malawi, Angola, and all nations in Africa north of the Equator not listed elsewhere, and all nations of the world not included elsewhere."

shall be amended to read:

"7.11. FIOVA PROVINCE. Talossan citizens living in the following areas shall be assigned to Fiova Province: the nations of Australia, New Zealand, all Oceanian nations, all Asian nations not listed elsewhere, Brazil, South Africa, Madagascar, Mauritius, the Comoros, Seychelles, Lesotho, Swaziland, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Malawi, Angola, and all nations in Africa south of the Equator not listed elsewhere, and all nations of the world not included elsewhere."

RZ6 - Scribery Sweeping Powers Act

Published in Clark #2

Rejected by the Senäts

WHEREAS minor orthographical errors in proposed bills always happen, and are not always caught in time; and,
WHEREAS nobody wants to draw up a bill just to fix tiny orthographical errors, so that they just remain as such in our bodies of law; 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; now

THEREFORE be it enacted by the Ziu that Title C, Section 1, Subsection 2, Subsubsection 3 of the Lexhatx (Lexh.C.1.2.3.) and onward, which currently reads:

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). (48RZ22)
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 (48RZ22)
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. (48RZ22)
1.2.3.3 (48RZ22)
1.2.3.4 (48RZ22)

shall forthwith be replaced with the following text, and thus read as follows:

1.2.3. The Scribe of Abbavilla is tasked with maintaining uniform, and consistent Bodies of Law as to their orthography, and typography. To achieve this, the Scribe is empowered to unilaterally:

RZ7 - Scribery Swooping Powers Amendment

Published in Clark #2

Rejected by the Senäts

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.

RZ8 - The Protracted Simulated Coup Amendment

Published in Clark #3

Rejected by the Cosâ

WHEREAS The King derives his power from the people, and

WHEREAS There is currently no mechanism to hold the King accountable to the people except when he outright breaks the law, and

WHEREAS The procedure for removing the King even in that instance is more difficult that simply passing an amendment to change the monarch or get rid of the monarchy altogether, and

WHEREAS That's weird, and

WHEREAS If the King proves inept, even if he hasn't done anything illegal, the citizens must have some method to replace him, and

WHEREAS It should still be more difficult to remove the King when he hasn't done anything illegal than when he has

THEREFORE Section 7 of of Article III, which currently reads;

is amended to read;

In dire circumstances, when the King is judged by competent medical authority to be incapable of executing his duties, or if he is convicted by the Talossan Uppermost Cort of violation of the Organic Law, treason, bribery or other high crimes, the nation may remove the King from the Throne. The Cosâ shall pronounce by a three-fifths vote, with the approval of the Senäts, that the King is to be deposed, and this pronouncement shall immediately be transmitted to the people for their verdict in a referendum. If three-fifths of the people concur, the King is considered deposed and the succession occurs according to Section 4, above. At any other time, a three-fifths majority of the Cosâ, with the approval of the Senäts, may resolve to depose the King, and a referendum to this effect shall be put to the people in a referendum occurring during the next General Election. If three-fifths of the people vote to depose the King, in the session of the Ziu immediately following, the Ziu may, as above, again resolve to depose the King, and a referendum to this effect shall again be put to the people in a referendum occurring no later than the next General Election. If three-fifths of the people again vote to depose the King, the King is considered deposed and the succession occurs according to Section 4, above.

RZ9 - The Council of Governors Resuscitation Act

Published in Clark #3

Statute

WHEREAS The Council of Governors has done nothing for at least the past two years, and probably has done nothing for far longer than that, and

WHEREAS That might be because no one is actually responsible for getting it going, and

WHEREAS That is probably also because many provincial executives are not very active, and

WHEREAS The Council could be a useful tool for finding ways to increase activity, and it is a shame that it never meets

THEREFORE Lex.D.9, which currently reads

9. The Ziu authorises the formation of a Council of Governors (el Cußéglh del Governadéirs in Talossan, abbreviated CG) to be comprised of each provincial leader, whether he or she is called "Governor" or not. The Council will hold meetings at its own discretion, or at the request of any one of the Governors/Provincial Leaders. (31RZ29)

9.1. The rules and regulations of this Council may be decided by the Council itself at a founders' meeting. The Council may only operate within the bounds of the Organic Law. The Council will meet to begin designing a constitution or other set of rules for self-governance.

9.2. The Ziu also hereby authorises the creation of the position of Governor-General of Talossa, who shall be the leader of the Council of Governors, chosen by a majority of the Council members (who are the collective governors and provinical leader of Talossa). In matters provincial, the Governor-General shall serve as a liaison to the Government of Talossa, to serve at the behest of the Council of Governors. (32RZ10)

is amended to read

9. The Ziu authorises the formation of a Council of Governors (el Cußéglh del Governadéirs in Talossan, abbreviated CG) to be comprised of each provincial executive, whether he or she is called "Governor" or not.

9.1. The Minister of the Interior shall call the Council into order no later than the first day of the first Clark of each Cosa term. Each provincial executive shall accept his or her seat in the Council no later than the last day of that Clark.

9.1.1. If the executive of a province does not accept his or her seat by the specified time, the Minister of the Interior may appoint a resident of that province to the Council, who shall serve until the executive of that province accepts his or her seat. The Minister of the Interior shall not appoint him or herself to the Council in this manner.

9.2. The Council shall meet and operate under rules of its own design.

9.3. The Governor-General of Talossa shall be the leader of the Council, chosen by a majority of the Council members (who are the collective governors and provincial leaders of Talossa). In matters provincial, the Governor-General shall serve as a liaison to the Government of Talossa, to serve at the behest of the Council of Governors. (32RZ10)

9.4. If a member of the Council ceases to be a provincial executive, he or she shall immediately lose his or her seat in the Council. The new executive of the province shall have one month to accept his or her seat in the Council, after which the Minister of the Interior may appoint a resident of that province to the Council, who shall serve until the new provincial executive accepts his or her seat.

9.5. If a province is without an executive, the Minister of the Interior may appoint a resident of that province to the Council, who shall serve until the province elects an executive and that executive accepts his or her seat.

RZ12 - The Fourteen Means Fourteen Bill

Published in Clark #3

Rejected by the Senäts

WHEREAS King Robert founded Talossa at the age of 14;
and WHEREAS he was not "13 but really keen to get involved";
and WHEREAS it is generally desirable that Talossa stay away from getting involved with people of 13 years of age or younger, given at least one major scandal of recent years;
and WHEREAS this has been Free Democrats party policy for ages, and it's embarrassing not even having the debate on it yet:

BE IT ENACTED by the King, Cosă and Senäts of Talossa in Ziu assembled that El Lexhátx E.1 shall be amended from:

1. Prospective immigrants who will be age fourteen or older by the next regularly scheduled Balloting Day shall be directed to the Minister of Interior. The Minister of Interior shall act on every such request received by that office, without discriminating on the basis of age, political preference, religion, or other personal information.

to (changes in bold):

1. Prospective immigrants who have at least attained the age of fourteen (14) years shall be directed to the Minister of Interior. The Minister of Interior shall act on every such request received by that office, without discriminating on the basis of age, political preference, religion, or other personal information.

RZ13 - The Senäts Bar Cover Charge Act

Published in Clark #3

Rejected by the Senäts

WHEREAS it seems strange that a political party must pay $10 to take up seats in the Cosă, but a winning Senator is not obliged to make any financial contribution to the running of the country;

and WHEREAS I'm continuing to go down my list of Free Democrat policies which haven't been proposed yet:

BE IT ENACTED by the King, Cosă and Senäts of Talossa in Ziu assembled that El Lexhátx section B.9 shall be amended to read as possible (amendments in bold)

9. The Secretary of State, or his appointed agent, shall charge, as prescribed by the Organic Law, a registration fee of 6¤40 (six louise and forty bence, equivalent to $10 USD) to each political party in forthcoming Cosă elections, and a registration fee of 3¤20 (three louise and twenty bence, equivalent to $5 USD) to each candidate in forthcoming Senäts elections. Any Party or Parties, candidate or candidates which fail or refuse to pay the fee shall be deemed not registered. (48PD02) (42RZ14)

9.1. The fee may only be paid by:

9.1.1. Sending a Money Order, Cash or Cheque by snail mail to the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue: Only fees which have been received in full, by the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue will be deemed paid. Fees that are in transit, delayed, lost in the mail or not received by the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue for any reason, shall not count as paid fees, even if accompanied with proof of postage. Payments made by Money Order or Cheque shall not be deemed as paid until they have been cleared, the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue, will notify the nation when such fees have cleared or if said payments have bounced. If a party or candidate’s cheque or money order bounces, they shall be liable to pay costs incurred by the Kingdom for their payment bouncing and shall not be registered until their fee plus these costs have been paid.

9.1.2. PayPal: Fees may be paid by electronically transferring the appropriate funds into the Kingdom of Talossa’s PayPal account managed by The Ministry of Finance (Ministrà dal Finançù). The Minister of Finance is to notify all Political Parties and candidates in advance of the Election of details regarding the PayPal account into which they may deposit their fee. Once a fee has been received by the Minster of Finance from a party or candidate, he shall notify the Nation and Burgermeister of Inland Revenue publicly that said fee has been received and arrange for said fee to be deposited in the Kingdom’s Account managed by the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue.

9.1.3. Payment directly to the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue: Payment may be made directly in person to the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue, by cash, cheque or money order. The Burgermeister of Inland Revenue shall notify the nation which such payments have been received. The policy of Cheque and Money orders in 9.2.1. applies equally in this instance.

9.2. Once a fee has been received by the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue and/or the Minister of Finance and/or their appointed agents, it is not refundable for any reason. If, however, a party or candidate overpays or pays more than once for any given election period, excess fees may be credited to the party or candidate against a future payment of fees or refunded, at the discretion of the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue, minus any fees or costs incurred.

WHEREAS, in the first instance, on November 3, 2017, Béneditsch Ardpresteir, as a Pusine Justice of the Uppermost Cort of Talossa, issued a suo moto injunction;

WHEREAS, soon thereafter, other justices intervened to nullify the previous injunction;

WHEREAS, on November 6, 2017, the Attorney General requested leave to intervene and be heard on the matter;

WHEREAS, as of January 5, 2018, sixty ("60") days has elapsed from when the Attorney General requested leave to be heard on the matter, and throughout that duration, the Béneditsch Ardpresteir failed to appear or act;

WHEREAS, the case remains an open case in which Béneditsch Ardpresteir is a judge and a participant;

WHEREAS, in the second instance, on December 27, 2017, the Ministry of Justice, having concluded the investigation into the conduct and actions of Béneditsch Ardpresteir, issued a report and recommendation to the Ziu pursuant to Lex.D.2.5.1;

WHEREAS, said report identified an civil action commenced on November 7, 2017 by the Ministry of Justice against Béneditsch Ardpresteir, in his official capacity as a Justice of the Uppermost Cort of the Kingdom of Talossa and based on the aforementioned suo moto order issued in performing his official duties as a justce, which sought relief that would require Béneditsch Ardpresteir to engage in certain official conduct as a Justice of the Uppermost Cort;

WHEREAS, on November 14, 2017, the Uppermost Cort of the Kingdom of Talossa instructed all parties to answer within a set period of time;

RZ16 - The Standing Rules (Senate) Act

Published in Clark #5

Statute

WHEREAS both Houses of the Ziu do not currently have any body of bylaws, and indeed no rules outside of the pieces of Organic and Statutory Law estabilishing them and regulating elections to those bodies; and
WHEREAS this gap in regulations was evident earlier in the term, as the Senate argued over a contested election; and
WHEREAS, currently, the duties of the respective Presiding Officers are largely customary and their extent is effectively up to the incumbents; and
WHEREAS a set of rules for each House of the Ziu would attempt to clarify the parliamentary procedures of the Cosa and the Senate to the extent each House wishes; and
WHEREAS, additionally, the estabilishment of Committees on Rules and Administration will allow each House to work more efficiently on managing their own bylaws, while still allowing the full membership of the respective House a say and a final vote on proposals; so

THEREFORE WE, the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa, hereby amend El Lexhatx to add a new subsections numbered H.21, to read as follows:

21. The Senate shall autonomously determine the rules of its proceedings. To this goal, the Mençei shall mantain a body of Standing Rules of the Senate.
    21.1 At the beginning of a new term, and optionally at any subsequent time during a term, the Senate shall consider a motion to estabilish a Senate Committee on Rules and Administration. Upon successful passage, any previously estabilished Committee shall disband and a new one be formed; upon failure, a Committee shall not be formed.
        21.1.1 Regardless, any previous iteration of the Committee shall disband at the beginning of a new term of the Senate, as defined by the publication by the Chancery and/or the respective provincial conducting officers of final results for all of the seats up for elections, or the beginning of a First Clark, whichever comes first.
        21.1.2 Upon disbandment, a Committee shall not be allowed to complete debate on any proposal, but shall be empowered to complete any voting that already was in progress by the time the disbandment was effective.
    21.2 The Senate Committee on Rules and Administration shall be formed by three Senators, appointed by the Mençei. The Senate shall be empowered to object to the appointments by passing a motion to suggest an alternate composition; successful passage shall override the Mençei's appointments with the Senate's suggestion.
    21.3 The Senate Committee on Rules and Administration shall be chaired by the Mençei, but unless him- or herself was appointed to the Commitee, the Mençei shall not be considered a member of the Committee.
    21.4 Any member of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, and the Mençei, shall be empowered to submit to the Committee proposals regarding the estabilishment of a new Standing Rule, or the amendment or deletion of any of the preexisting Standing Rules of the Senate. After due debate, the Committee shall vote on the proposal, and the proposal shall be considered to be adopted by majority vote. Unless he/she is a member of the Committee, the Mençei shall only vote to break a tie, in the event that at least one of the three members abstained or did not vote by the end of the allotted voting time.
    21.5 The Senate Committee on Rules and Administration's proceedings shall be public; and the Mençei shall not deny a Senator's request to speak and be heard in front of the Committee. Additionally, any Senator shall place a proposal for the Committee's consideration, and upon endorsement of the proposal by any member of the Committee, or the Mençei, said proposal shall be debated and voted on as described in 21.4.
    21.6 Any proposal that has been adopted by the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration shall be referred to the whole Senate for approval. The Senate shall then vote to uphold the proposal by majority vote; upon successful passage, the proposal shall take effect. Should the Senate instead reject the proposal, it shall return to the Committee's consideration for amendments, or be discarded at the original proposer's discretion.
    21.7 No Standing Rule shall infringe on any Organic or Statutory provision, and Standing Rules shall be germane to the Senate's operations.
    21.8 The Senate shall be empowered to waive any Standing Rule for the remainder of the current term by majority vote, without consulting the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration.
    21.9 At any time a vacancy in the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration arises, the Mençei shall be empowered to appoint another Senator to the empty seat. The Senate shall be empowered to object to the appointment by passing a motion to suggest an alternate Senator; successful passage shall override the Mençei's appointment with the Senate's suggestion.
        21.9.1 Should a Senator resign or be expelled from the Committee, resign, strike out or be expelled from the Senate, the member will still be empowered to cast his or her vote in any Committee votes that are currently open, but not any that are initiated after the notice of resignation or expulsion is published.
        21.9.2 Failure to stand for reelection to the Senate shall not impede a member of the Committee from taking part in any of the Committee's activities prior to disbandment as per 21.1.1 and 21.1.2.
        21.9.3 Failure of a member of the Committee who is standing for reelection to the Senate to win his race, according to any provisional results, shall not impede said member of the Committee from taking part in any of the Committee's activities prior to disbandment as per 21.1.1 and 21.1.2.
    21.10 At any time, due to inactivity, other impediments to normal activity or subsequently to an individual motion of censure, the Senate shall be empowered to remove any of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration's members, through a motion adopted by simple majority.

RZ17 - The Bar Reformation Act

Published in Clark #6

Statute

WHERERAS the development of an independent judiciary is a benchmark of a developed democracy;

WHEREAS the judiciary as it exists in Talossa today is sorely underdeveloped;

WHEREAS while many factors contribute to the underdevelopment of the judiciary in Talossa, one factor, the inability to admit new members to the bar, stands out as one that can be rectified;

WHEREAS Talossa is in dire needs of qualified individuals to be admitted to the bar.

THEREFORE, El Lexhatx § C, 1.6 is hereby repealed in its entirety;

FURTHERMORE, El Lexhatx § C, 2, is hereby amended to read as follows: The Officers of the Royal Household shall have no fixed terms of office, and shall not be removed from office by the dissolution of the Cosa. The Officers of the Royal Household are appointed and removed by the King on the recommendation of the Prime Minister. The four exceptions to this are that the Secretary of State shall be appointed by the Prime Minister acting alone and may be removed by law; the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue shall be named in the same way as the Secretary of State; and the Commissioner of the Civil Service, who shall be appointed by the King, for a two year renewable term, after being recommended by a legislative civil service committee and approved by a two-thirds majority vote in the Cosa and a majority vote of the Senäts in favor of appointment. The Chancellor may be removed by the King on the recommendation of the Senäts.

FURTHERMORE, the following section is added to the El Lexhatx as § G,11:

RZ18 - The Commas Matter Act (Bar Refor. Secondary Legislation)

Published in Clark #6

Statute

WHEREAS 50RZ27 having previously been passed by the Ziu and vetoed by the Crown,

WHEREAS our time in Talossa is better spent arguing over whether prima facie modification, not material modification, is more relevant than something essential as needing to sleep, thereby SETTING THE PRECEDENT THAT THE EXACT LETTER OF THE LAW MATTERS;

WHEREAS if the Ziu plans to make legislative intent a thing in Talossa, it should really start filing a section of Acts clearly identified as "legislative intent" to be filed in the database for easy reference;

WHEREAS the Member of the Cosa has sought to reintroduce an act previously passed but vetoed, but with necessary modification to render this act unnecessary, but now finds it necessary to also hopper this act, to bring everything IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE EXACT LETTER OF THE ORGANIC LAW, hereby introduces the following secondary legislation, as borrowed and paraphrased from certain foreign documents in "[o]rder to [pass] a more perfect" act, hereby re-introduces this Act, having previously been passed by the Ziu in the 50th Cosâ under 50RZ27, and previously subjected to the Crown’s veto, is is concurrently reintroduced in the same Clark of this secondary legislation, as to ensure it meets THE COMMA OF THE LAW pursuant to Article X, section 6 of the Organic Law, whereby a bill may become law upon passage by a simple majority of the Ziu in a subsequent term;

WHEREAS this act is only effective upon passage of the primary legislation, and if this act is subject to a veto, it will be reintroduced, verbatim, in the next term, and so forth shall each act be hoppered and clarked until something better is offered;

THEREFORE without any reference to any provision in the Organic Law proscribing such an measure, as none exist, the Ziu hereby modifies the Bar Reformation Act, in style and clarification, having now been rehoppered and passed in the same Clark, and as such, el Lexhatx as § G,11 shall read as:

T
he Officers of the Royal Household shall have no fixed terms of office, and shall not be removed from office by the dissolution of the Cosa. The Officers of the Royal Household are appointed and removed by the King on the recommendation of the Prime Minister. The four exceptions to this are that the Secretary of State shall be appointed by the Prime Minister acting alone and may be removed by law; the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue shall be named in the same way as the Secretary of State; and the Commissioner of the Civil Service, who shall be appointed by the King, for a two year renewable term, after being recommended by a legislative civil service committee and approved by a two-thirds majority vote in the Cosa and a majority vote of the Senäts in favor of appointment.
