Naked Eye Requirement for Visibility and Understanding is Necessary Act (NERVUN Act)
Drafted By: Gothmogs
Sponsors: Maklohi Vai, The Grand Republic of Hannover, Geilinor, Free South Califas, Malgrave, Venaleria, Seitonjin, Mediciano
SIMBEDS Category: Senate Procedures

At the moment anyone can add invisible text to a bill simply by making the font extremely small. If this were to be legal, anyone could add extra text to a perfectly reasonable bill, and make themselves supreme rulers or repeal bills they don't like without the knowledge or actual consent of the senate. This bill sets out to stop that.

Section 1 - Visibility Requirement
1. Hereby mandates that no bill may contain text or writing that is invisible, or cannot be seen by the naked eye.

2. Any bill that does contain such text or writing and passes, will be required to strike null and void the invisible or unseen text or writing.

Section 2 - Consequences
1. Any bill writer who submits a bill they wrote with invisible or unseen text or writing to the queue, has a bill they wrote in the queue with invisible or unseen text or writing, or has written a bill that has passed with invisible or unseen text or writing, will be suspended from voting or adding bills to the queue for a month after the invisible or unseen text or writing is found.

2. Should a person commit any of the above offences twice, that person who committed the offence twice will be suspended from adding bills to the queue for a year, and will be suspended from voting on bills for three months.

3. Should a person commit any of the above offences more than twice, that person who committed the offences more than twice will be banned from adding bills to the queue for the rest of their lives, and will be banned from voting on bills for a year.

Section 3 - Catching Invisible Text
1. Hereby requires the spellcheckers to search for invisible or unseen text, and report any findings to the Senate President pro tempore, or to the constabularies.

Hereby passes the NERVUN Act.

I motion to add this to Senate Procedures.

I think this was missed.

First Amendment to the Prime Minister and President's Questions Act
Urgency: Minor | Author: Battlion [NLP] | Category: Senate Procedures
Co-sponsors: Ainin [TR], Europe and The Americas [NLP], The Grand Republic of Hannover [FW], Lamaredia [NLP], Fulflood [LD], Venaleria [RG], Free South Califas [C], Geilinor [LD], Gothmogs [TR]


Preamble
The Senate has already recognised the importance of ensuring executive accountability to the Senate in the passing of the Prime Minister and President's Questions Act into law. However noting that these questions only need to be asked every fortnight with no other method of directly holding the government accountable and finding this inadequate , the Senate hereby enacts the following amendment.

Section I - Repeal of Part 1
1. The Senate hereby repeals part one of the Prime Minister and President's Questions Act and replaces it with the following text:
    "Orders that a thread be made for Prime Ministers Questions and Presidents Questions within one week of either office being filled and shall remain open until the individuals holding the office of the Prime Minister and/or President have been removed from office."


The First Amendment to the Prime Minister and President's Questions Act now has enough sponsors and I ask it be placed in the Senate Procedures category.

I just let it go ahead because it seemed like there would be no point in requiring a redo of the motion etc. However, next time, I will ask that all motions are made clearly and effectively before continuing.

The Senate of Aurentina,

(D) be tasked with the responsibility of reporting to the President any intelligence deemed too sensitive for even the entire Council, at the Director's discretion.


(4) the National Reconnaissance Office, which will
(A) be tasked with collecting intelligence as it pertains to the military.
(B) be tasked with consolidating all relevant information into a ten page "Bi-Daily Military Intelligence Dossier" which will be presented to the President and the Minister of Defense every two days, or however more often is required by the situation.
(C) be tasked with informing the President and the Minister of Defence on the status of global foreign military operations in an in-depth format before any Aurentine military operation.
(D) be tasked with using the sensory assets of the Commonwealth Armed Forces in the collection of military data, at the President's and the Minister of Defense's discretion.
(E) be constrained and accountable to all current laws governing the use of the military, but will not be a branch or organization that falls under the category of a "military organization."

I ask that this be added to the queue.

Section III - Appeals and Expiration of Registration
1: If a name is deemed to fall under one of the prohibited categories then all parents shall have the right to appeal and overrule the decision in a court session listened to a Judge
2: If the name is ruled by the Judge to not fall within one of the prohibited categories then the original name shall be ruled lawful and shall be placed upon the Birth Registration form.
3: If the name is ruled by the Judge to fall within one of the prohibited categories then the judge shall issue a court order for the original name to be ruled unlawful and a new name shall be agreed upon in court before dismissal.
4: If a Birth Registration form is not completed within forty days of birth without acceptable excuse then a warning shall be issued, followed by a £50 fine every week until the form is completed.
5: If after six weeks over the expiration a prosecution will be brought against the parents for "failure to register" with a maximum punishment of a £1000 fine.

-snip of a bill I didn't sponsor-


I ask that this be added to the queue.

I would like to make it exceedingly clear that I did not at any point sponsor this bill, and therefore its place in the queue is wrongful.

I go under the name Vyvland now (IIWiki page). This account is used for the odd foray into the Senate or NSG.
Straight male British apatheist pacifist environmentalist social liberal

Admin, New Democrat member for Lüborg (504) and ambassador to the Red-Greens in the Aurentine Senate. Minister of Business Safety of Aurentina. Apparently that deserves a ministry, but I'm not complaining. I'm probably none of these things anymore. | The Aurentine Phrasebook, my magnum opus.
