Bills

RZ1 - The [REDACTED] Act

Statute

This is bill id#1262 (this information has no legal importance and is technical in nature.

Hopper Thread

WHEREAS Very few people are technically allowed to submit bills to the Hopper right now, and

WHEREAS I can because the MM Senatorial election is not conducted by the Chancery, so I do not have to wait around for the EC to finish, and

WHEREAS I figured I might as well give people something to look at while they wait, and

WHEREAS Immigration law mandates that the Interior Minister collect the address of all applicants, and

WHEREAS During my tenure as Interior Minister, there have been multiple times when someone under the age of 18 could not apply because they could not share their address, and

WHEREAS That is a bummer, and

WHEREAS We don't really *need* the addresses of applicants as long as we know which province we should put them in

THEREFORE Lex.E.2, which currently reads:

2. The Minister of Interior shall ascertain to his own satisfaction, through correspondence or conversation, that the prospective immigrant is a real human being with genuine interest in becoming a citizen of the Kingdom of Talossa. The Minister shall be free to inquire of the applicant on any and every subject, and shall be required to collect the name, postal address, telephone number, and e-mail address(es) of the candidate, which information the Minister shall communicate to the Secretary of State. Additionally, the Interior Minister shall be required to collect an essay, written by the applicant, entitled "Why I am Interested in Becoming a Talossan."

shall be amended to read:

2. The Minister of Interior shall ascertain to his own satisfaction, through correspondence or conversation, that the prospective immigrant is a real human being with genuine interest in becoming a citizen of the Kingdom of Talossa. The Minister shall be free to inquire of the applicant on any and every subject, and shall be required to collect the name, postal address (optional if the applicant is under 18 years of age, except for information needed to assign the applicant to a province), telephone number, and e-mail address(es) of the candidate, which information the Minister shall communicate to the Secretary of State. Additionally, the Interior Minister shall be required to collect an essay, written by the applicant, entitled "Why I am Interested in Becoming a Talossan."

RZ2 - The Birds of a Feather Flock Together Act

Rejected by the ZIU

This is bill id#1263 (this information has no legal importance and is technical in nature.

Hopper Thread

WHEREAS Talossa is more fun, real, and active when Talossans can interact offline, and

WHEREAS This is especially true for provinces, since not much happens on provincial Witt boards, and

WHEREAS This is generally why it is a good idea to have geographically contiguous catchment areas, and

WHEREAS Putting people in the same province physically closer together is not the only way to make them more likely to have offline interactions, and

WHEREAS This is because some people have personal connections that predate their Talossanity, and

WHEREAS It then makes sense to put those people in the same province

THEREFORE Lex.E.7.2.1, which currently reads:

shall be amended to read:

7.1.2. Citizens living outside the boundaries of Talossa shall be assigned to a province corresponding to a geographic zone. The entire globe shall be divided into eight geographic zones so that anyone living anywhere outside Talossa is automatically assigned to the corresponding Talossan province, subject to E.7.1.2.1

7.1.2.1 At any time before a Grant of Citizenship is issued to an applicant, a current Talossan citizen who is an acquaintance of the applicant may petition the Secretary of State to assign the applicant to his province when the Grant is issued. If the Secretary of State determines to his satisfaction that the applicant and the petitioner are acquaintances, he shall accept the petition. If the Secretary of State denies the petition, he must issue a statement explaining his reasoning, and this decision may be challenged in Cort by the petitioner.

7.1.2.1.1 In the case that multiple petitions are issued by petitioners from different provinces, the Secretary of State may only accept the petition of the applicant's choosing.

7.1.2.1.2 The Secretary of State shall not accept any such petition unless and until he has confirmed that the applicant would like to be assigned to the petitioner's province. An applicant's desire to be assigned to a province based on catchment area overrides any and all such petitions.

RZ3 - Yet Another Error Correction Act

Statute

This is bill id#1264 (this information has no legal importance and is technical in nature.

Hopper Thread

WHEREAS "Closed provinces" are no longer a thing, but I found a statute that still references them, and

WHEREAS There is no point in writing any more whereas clauses since the error just needs to be fixed

THEREFORE Lex.E.13.2, which currently reads:

13.2. Any minor child or ward of a Talossan citizen shall be made a citizen on simple application of the Talossan parent or guardian. Such application shall be made to the Secretary of State and shall affirm that any non-Talossan parent or legal guardian of the minor child (according to and under any jurisdiction of the world) accedes to said citizenship. The said minor child shall be made a citizen of the province to which the parent making the described application clings, regardless of the closure status of the province. Said child shall be forever entitled to be known as a Dandelion, and specifically as a Broad-Leaf Dandelion, and shall on reaching the age of 14 years become a voting citizen according to the terms of Article XVIII, Section 7 of the Organic Law.
