I'll be traveling today, but will give these some scrutiny tonight. Thank you for your patience.

Sorry for my late answer on this.
I think this bill lacks the usual formalism (whereas, be replaced by, ..)
Two bills instead of one would allow to vote separately on 1.2.5. addition and 1.2.1 modification.

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

WHEREAS the Túischac'h of the Cosa has requested amendments to the law on Terpelaziuns to enable him to more effectively moderate official questions to the Government, responses, supplementary questions, and to maintain decorum therein:

BE IT ENACTED by the King, Cosa and Senäts of Talossa in Ziu assembled that:

1. El Lexhatx H.1.2.3.2, which currently reads:

1.2.3.2 Once the first (round of) supplementary question(s) have been answered, the floor shall be considered open to contributions from other Members of the Cosă and Senators. Any questions posed in this stage shall not be bound by any formal time constraints.

is hereby deleted in its entirety.

2. A new section to be added to El Lexhatx, numbered H.1.2.5, as follows:

1.2.5. The presiding officer of the questioner's House shall enforce decorum in both Terpelaziuns and answers to Terpelaziuns. The presiding Officer may require questioners to rephrase Terpelaziuns, or Ministers or their substitutes to rephrase answers to Terpelaziuns, to maintain decorum. In cases of continued violations, the presiding Officer may instruct the questioner or the Minister or their substitute to withdraw or apologise for a statement or comment, and remove any such statement or comment from the record in the absence of such withdrawal or apology; or disallow any further supplementary questions and responses to the Terpelaziun at issue.

This bill looks fine in form and function, with one exception: it needs the sponsorship at the bottom.  Assuming that's fixed, I vote to approve.

No objections any more, thanks

Imagine life events causing a delay in response. I see that it is not only something that affects me.
