The Senate of the Commonwealth of Aurentina,

Determined to maintain Aurentina’s energy security moving forward,

Noting that a changing world requires new energy solutions,

Realizing that energy would be saved by switching to Compact Fluorescent Lamps and other more energy efficient lighting.

Hereby passes the following,

Section 1: Definitions
Incandescent Light Bulbs are light bulbs which produce light by running an electric current through a filament wire, usually made of Tungsten, thus heating it to a high temperature. The bulb itself is typically filled with a Noble Gas, such as Argon.

Section 2: Ban on Manufacture
By January 1st, 2016, any and all factories or other businesses producing incandescent light bulbs of any wattage will cease producing them.

Section 3: Ban on Import
By January 1st, 2016, incandescent light bulbs will no longer be permitted to be imported from abroad and sold in Aurentina.

Section 4: Exceptions
After January 1st, 2016, the Minister of Energy may allow up to ten bulbs specific wattages to be imported or manufactured for alternative needs such as incubation, heated tanks for reptiles, Easy Bake Ovens, etc.

Added.

Thank you.

In regards to Local Government Act, I would like to raise issue regarding its relevance since constitution has passed as article 2 has been incorporated in its entirety into District and City Councils section of article four (identical text, probably built that section from the bill). In regards to Article 1 of the bill, provinces are covered by article four of constitution with blocker clause to expand powers given to provinces (Article 4, 1.2)...

[The New World Oceania]

LGA makes no reference to Constituencies. Not an outstanding issue, but a point to be considered.

Check with Costa but I think he might be Ok with pulling it.

[Britanno]

Certain areas of the LGA were absorbed into the constitution with Costa's permission, that's why you may see familiar clauses.

[Lemanrussland]

A few questions. I've been out of the loop for a while, so please forgive any ignorance.

Why do we not want legislatures at provincial level? How will these provinces enact taxes or make decisions about funding, by decree of the intendant? Is this for RP purposes (so we can have people roleplay the intendants) or how we seriously want the provinces to be run?

How will councils be organized (number of members and so on)? How many years will city and district councilors serve per term? The bill only seems to talk about the mayors.

To clarify, all powers (control over infrastructure funding, education funding, and so on) granted to the intendants and local councils are still fully reserved for the central government, or are they being devolved to these lower levels of government?

Nay since it's surplus to requirements as most of it is in the constitution and what is not is overridden by the constitution anyway.

[New Zepuha]

Nay

[Corenea]

I abstain

[Dendart]

[Haelunor]

I vote Nay.
