Quote from: Ian Plätschisch on May 23, 2022, 05:46:38 PMI would like to re-Clark the Compromise on the Compromise Amendment

I have two questions: 1) Has the bill passed the muster of the CRL? and, 2) What is the link to the bill so I can Clark the correct version.

Thanks.

1) Yes, it passed the CRL last term
2) https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=848.0

Mr. Secretary I would cite this as precedent where you allowed the bill in question above to be clarked without another approval of the CRL. Am I mistaken?

Please point me to the exact thread so I can review it. Thanks.

Here you go. https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=1458.msg12319#msg12319

The difference was that the Compromise on the Compromise was re-Clarked after failing in a previous Cosa. Was this bill Clarked last term?

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on April 25, 2023, 10:30:23 AMThe Cjovani Ziua Auservada Bill was changed to reflect comments BY the CRL. Why would this prevent it from being clarked?

The bill was changed after approval. The remedy is of course to get approval once more and I will Clark it.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on April 25, 2023, 10:33:31 AMThe Second Catchment Area Reform Act was explicitly approved by ESB on March 29th and by Baron Davinescu also on March 29th. @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu would you be able to confirm your approval?

The approval was kinda buried so I missed it. I will Clark this bill.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on April 25, 2023, 10:06:57 AMAll three of my bills are separated parts of a single larger bill. I believe they each received full consideration, since the text is not different. I would ask you to reconsider, although this is completely your prerogative.

I'm more than happy to reconsider. Can you show me which bill these three new bills all stem from? Thanks.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on April 24, 2023, 08:26:28 PMHello, I submit the following bills for clarking:

The Second Catchment Area Reform Act
The Cjovani Ziua Auservada Bill
The SOS Succession Reform Act

The Second Catchment Area Reform Act does not appear to have any approvals in the CRL.
The Cjovani Ziua Auservada Bill was changed AFTER approval by the CRL.
The SOS Succession Reform Act was approved by the CRL in the 57th Cosa and has not been approved by the current CRL for the 58th Cosa.

As such, until these bills are approved by the existing CRL, I cannot Clark any of them.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on April 24, 2023, 06:38:26 PM

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on March 15, 2023, 08:24:36 PMWHEREAS there is a large legal loophole that would permit virtually any crime, including very serious crimes such as threats of sexual assault, theft, bribery, or anything else, and

WHEREAS the problem lies with the fact that we're offering unlimited and unqualified sanctuary under terms which clearly reference the medieval Christian practice of offering church protection from secular law, thereby allowing anyone to claim the right of sanctuary if accused of crimes, and

WHEREAS it's hard to find any other way to interpret this bit of the law so that it makes sense, and so therefore this reading probably is going to be a valid one, or at the very least would be an incredible complication that might make it impossible to prosecute someone, and

WHEREAS no one has yet taken advantage of it, but there's no reason to think that will last forever,

THEREFORE the tenth section of Title A of el Lexhatx, which currently reads

Quote10. The Ziu hereby recognizes the historic right of churches and other religious organizations to offer sanctuary to individuals in dire need.

is hereby stricken in its entirety.

Uréu q'estadra så:
Baron Alexandreu Davinescu (MC-TNC)

This bill is substantially altered from its Hopper form. I'm not sure it can be Clarked either.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on May 31, 2022, 01:28:04 PM

The Legal Repair Amendment

WHEREAS currently the entire status of much of our legal system is possibly itself illegal, since the Ziu's ennumerated powers do not include any power to write criminal laws at all, nor to regulate any aspect of the legal system, meaning that most of Titles A & J are very much in doubt if challenged in cort, and

WHEREAS this means that basically none of our criminal laws or rules about the cort system actually work,

THEREFORE the third section of Article VII of the 1997 Organic Law shall be amended to include these additional provisions:

Quote20. Criminal justice designed to protect the personal and property rights of citizens.
21. Administrative matters incidental to the functioning of the justice system.

Uréu q'estadra så:
Baron Alexandreu Davinescu (MC-TNC)

This bill was substantially altered from its original form only two days ago in the Hopper and placed before the CRL on the same day. Again, I'm not sure I can Clark this bill either.

The Appeals Act

WHEREAS there's no limit on appeals, so no case is ever really closed unless every appeal is exhausted, and

WHEREAS it's wildly unjust for a resolved case to hang over someone's head indefinitely, and

WHEREAS the corts have not established a rule about this

THEREFORE a new provision shall be inserted as the fifth subsubsection to the first subsection of the third section of Title G of el Lexhatx, reading

QuoteThere is a 90-day statute of limitations on all appeals.

Uréu q'estadra så:
Baron Alexandreu Davinescu (MC-TNC)

Has this bill passsed the required time in the hopper? I see it was proposed to both the Hopper and the CRL on the same day.

Ok, they say "third time is a charm" and hopefully so! The last two votes ended in ties so we need to run the election AGAIN.

Voting for Premieir is now open and will remain open for TWO WEEKS. I will vote at the very end. Voting closes May 8 at 1730 TST.

@Mic'haglh Autófil, MC EiP, it is with regret that @Alexandreu Prominè has lost his seats in the 58th Cosa due to non-voting. As a result, you have 7 seats to be allocated for the upcoming 3rd Clark. Should the seats not be allocated, the Cosa will consist of 193 seats instead of the usual 200 seats.

Please allocate the remaining seats as soon as possible, but at least one day prior to the start of the 3rd Clark.

The Chancery has assessed current laws on privacy and the Census, in light of a proposal by the government to use the latter as a tool in order to gather information that citizens may freely provide on their skills and interests. The Chancery is guided by relevant laws and believes that under el Lexhatx, certain information about citizens shall not be shared outside of the legal procedures put in place.  However, discussions with the government have identified a method of pre-approval with which the Chancery and government are both comfortable.  This approach will allow citizen privacy to be protected while still using the tools already available to the state.

There are two statutes that the Chancery is drawing upon to form its opinion. The first is El. Lex. C.1.2.2.3 which states:

QuoteAny information collected during the census that would individually identify any person or persons, including their contact information, shall be withheld from the public for to protect individual privacy, consistent with Lex.D.8. The only exception is that citizens may opt to have their e-mail address shared with party leaders, pursuant to Lex.D.8.5.4. Census information shall not be released under any "freedom of information" or "government transparency" requests, notwithstanding any other provisions of el Lexhatx.

The second statute, El. Lex. D.8.4.1 defines more clearly who may access certain protected information:

QuotePersonal information such as, but not limited to, private mailing addresses, contact telephone numbers and private email addresses, given names, ages, date of births and national security numbers shall be held on file and shall only be accessed by the Secretary of State or The King without prior permission of the person to whom the information relates to. In all other instances permission must be obtained by the person to whom the personal information relates to.

Taken together, the Chancery believes that any identifiable information, including given names, may only be accessed by either the Secretary of State or the King.  This includes information on a citizen's hobbies or interests, which may be used to identify them.  This information may not be released outside of the Chancery except in a fashion that prevents associating it with any single individual.  Not every citizen of Talossa has chosen a Talossan version of their name, and so the legal risk is that some protected information may be provided to an unauthorized person if the data is shared as envisioned in the above entitled proposal, and a great number of Talossans have opted out of sharing their personal data as a matter of course.

However, a citizen may freely provide permission for his her or protected data to be released, if so chosen. Accordingly, it is possible to allow citizens to authorize the release of certain sections of the Census, as long as these requirements are met:
Citizens must be given enough information to make an informed decision.
Each individual must be given the choice whether or not to complete this section of the Census, and the Census will be considered "complete" even without these optional questions which would be authorized for release.

Any questions or concerns may be addressed to the Chancery, which will continue to strive to protect the privacy rights of citizens.

It is my pleasure to open call for bills of the May 2023 Clark.

Eventually, the clark can be viewed in real time here:

www.talossa.ca/files/cosa_vote_result.php?cosa=58&clark=3 (for the votes)

and here:

www.talossa.ca/files/clark.php?cosa=58&clark=3 (for the bills )

It is NOT too late to submit bills, of course, as you have OFFICIALLY until the morning of the 30th of this month, provided your bills have been in the Hopper before end of business day the 15th, of course. I will make the Clark on May 1st's morning and bills submitted up to a few hours before that will probably also be taken.

PLEASE note that in order to support a bill, you need to:

1 ) Be a Senator, the Secretary of State or the King
or
2 ) Have been nominated as a Cosa Member for the upcoming Clark BEFORE the 15th,

To vote on the Clark, you will once again have 2 options:

1 ) You will be able to vote in the Clark thread (which will be created later on the 1st of May), as usual. I will enter your votes in the DB.

2 ) You will be able to vote directly in the database, using your usernumber and DB password (which you can retrieve at: www.talossa.ca/files/login.php using the PSC of the election) or by login via Facebook (which retrieve manual activation on my part).
