Whereas, during the previous Cosa term the Government passed the Second Talossan Government Transparency Act, and

Whereas, this Act automated the transferral of Witt-based Cabinet discussions to the Archivist with them being available to the public seven-years post-term, and

Whereas, the discussions of the Standing Committee on Organic Law, as a body composed of public officials discussing matters of national import, may also be ripe for a transparent approach and be of historical interest.

Therefore, be it enacted by the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa, that El Lex D 8.9.1 which currently reads as:

Quote8.9.1 All internal government communications on Government-owned fora shall be transmitted to the Royal Archives as soon as feasibly possible after the conclusion of that Government's term of office.

is amended to read as follows:

Quote8.9.1 All internal government communications on Government-owned fora, including those of cabinet proceedings, standing committees, or royal commissions shall be transmitted to the Royal Archives as soon as feasibly possible after the conclusion of that Government's term of office.

This bill cannot be submitted to the Clark until it is properly formatted. The bill talks about a modification to El Lex D.8.9, and how certain information must be transmitted in a certain format. However, for the bill to actually take any effect, the provisions of El Lex. D.8.9 should be specifically modified to include the specific information to be transmitted.

For example, you could modify 8.9.1 to state "All internal government communications on Government-owned fora, including discussions by any Standing Committee, shall be...." (you get the point).

This bill would just be floating about in the ether if it were to pass as it does not modify existing law in any way.

I'm sorry but it clearly states the information to be transmitted under the same procedure already specified in the previous act. I need to check, will this change allow it to be clarked?

@Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB
