It's statutorily advanced, but I don't see any issues with it.

Okay colleagues, give me a heads up on this: I've posted the substantive text of a bill here, but not yet the "fluff", preamable, "whereases" etc.

Does the 10 day countdown before I can bring it in here start from Aug 5, when I posted the "meat" of the bill, or doesn't it count before I put the "fluffy stuff" on? My reading of El Lexh H.6.4. suggests that the "legislative proposal" needs to spend 10 days in the Hopper, which I think means the essential text of the proposed law or amendment, which suggests the more permissive wording.
I agree with your interpretation.
I, also am in agreement on this.  The "Whereas" and whatnot is largely throat clearing. 

Though, and this would be a question for the Bar and CPI, does that material factor into legal reasoning?  Because if so, one could argue that it is slightly more "substantive"

Can my colleagues give a look-see to the Tear Down This Wall, Finally bill?

It looks pretty solid to me, at least as far as its construction.

Wittenberg / Re: Poker Tournament

I'm not much of a poker player, but (being from Michigan), I am an inveterate Euchre player.  Now, I know it's very popular in Michigan... what is its status in Wisconsin?

Submitting The Loud Town Crier Act for review.

The Loud Town Crier Act

Whereas, current election regulations require the Secretary of State to post preliminary election results to only Wittenberg, and

Whereas, it is broadly agreed that Wittenberg, while an important aspect of Talossan life, is not Talossa itself, and

Whereas, it is a reasonable act of public interest to ensure that news of Talossan elections is made available to as many Talossans as possible, and

Whereas, this amending of election notification requirements will result in minimal additional burden on the Chancery.

Therefore, El Lexhatx B. 13.5 is amended to read as follows (changes in bold):

QuoteImmediately following the Election Deadline, the Secretary of State shall post unofficial elections results on Wittenberg, transmit these results by email to citizens allowing contact by the Chancery, and notify the members of the Commission that the unofficial results have been posted.

I see nothing wrong with it.

MENCEI: Note my inclusion of the month and year in my reply-subject line.  We must always have the month and year as well as the Cosa and Clark in the subject line for debate and voting.  Many thanks, ESB!


It's not February.

Senators, please lodge your votes here or elsewhere as established by law, custom, and past practice.

Agreed that it is a sound bill.

The Let's Make This Official Compromise Bill

WHEREAS the Kingdom recognizes the importance of celebrating important dates and events in Talossan history, and

WHEREAS the Republican schism of June 1 2004, as the act of defiance that sparked the movement leading to the abdication of a tyrannical King and the restoration of democracy in the Kingdom, was an incredibly important moment in the history of Talossa; and

WHEREAS Reunision as the re-uniting of our nation's monarchist and republican traditions also marks an incredibly important moment in the history of Talossa;


Therefore be it resolved that two new subsections are placed at El Lexhatx F 2.4, with any necessary renumbering of following subsections, to read:

Quote20 April. Reunision Day. Commemorating the royal proclamation of Reunision and the end of the National Schism.

1 June. Democracy Day. Commemorating the foundation of the Talossan Republic as a day to honour democracy and the popular will, for both Republican and Monarchist traditions.

On the face of it, I see nothing wrong.  But I do want to get a touch of clarity.

There are, essentially, two bills doing very similar things, yes?  There is the "Let's Make This Official Act" by Tzaracomprada/Davinescu and the "Let's Make This Official Compromise Bill" as proposed by Schivă.  Both enshrine Reunison Day, while the latter also enshrines Democracy Day.

Also this:

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on May 31, 2022, 08:25:27 AM
WHEREAS 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.

FURTHERMORE, the words "Except as provided in A.17," shall be struck from section 16.

FURTHERMORE, the Scribe is directed to renumber Title A in a sensible fashion.

In looking through, I'm pretty sure that this dots its "i's" and crosses its "t's."  Should work
