The Aurentine Senate,

WORRIED that our nation has no method for the early detections of threats against Aurentina, or any method through which to surmise the intents and motivations of foreign entities,

NOTING that this is a critical weakness in the maintenance of national security and the safety of the Aurentine people,

ALSO NOTING that without a means to surmise the intents and motivations of foreign entities, we cannot in good faith, and on an equal field parlay with any other nation which possesses a foreign intelligence gathering organization, as they will be better informed as to our status than we to theirs,

WARNING that any nation existing in the information rich world of today requires a method for the conducting of espionage and counterespionage operations covertly and on behalf of the nation's goals and objectives,

(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."

Section 1. Acknowledgements

We hereby acknowledge the large contributions to the justice community, and to the people of Aurentina themselves, by the late Senator Joseph Kourie. In his death at the hands of the organization he fought to destroy, being one of great loss to the community and a terrible blow to national spirit. This bill will set aside 1.35 sq. km park to be dedicated in the name of Joseph Kourie and a statue erected to honor those fallen in the pursuit of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Section 2. The Park Grounds

This bill would place the 1.35 sq. km park under the protection of the National Forestry Service, declaring it to be a public park and under management of the public domain. At the center of the park a 3m tall statue sitting upon a base of 6m in diameter. Three figures will stand facing three pathways that lead outward from the park's center. One Constable will stand gun drawn as if responding to a dangerous person, while the constable is outfitted in regular uniform; to remind us that these men fight and die so that we may be safe. One civilian in a typical working man's clothing such as blue jeans or overall's, will be carrying a book and have pose to face the sun at it's westerly decent; to symbolize his untimely loss from the earth and the knowledge and power lost. One Gendarme will be in typical load out in a marching pose as if surveying a scene, he will have a stern face to remind us of the diligence of justice.

Under each figure a plaque will be placed with the following words. Under the Gendarme: To defend those who cannot Under the Civilian: Carry on in our memory Under the Constable: Never forget those who fall for justice

Hereby passes the JKMPE Bill and sets aside 1.35 sq. km for the Joseph Kourie Memorial park's construction.

This has the needed support to be added to the queue.

[Venaleria]

I move to extend debate for a time period of 24 hours in order to allow for continued debate of the bills already in place as well as to allow for the submission and debate (if any) of a third amendment to SIMBEDS which will focus on a different topic of adding bills to categories after debate/voting has started.

I realize that this is contradictory.

Third Amendment to the SIMBEDS Omnibus Procedure Act
Category: Senate Procedures | Urgency: Medium-High |Written by: Martin Vebussy [RG]
Sponsors: Marius Kruger [IND.] Tom Jenkins [RG] Charles Buckeye [NLP] Wulukuno Maklohi Porunalakai [LD]

The Senate of Aurentina,

APPLAUDING the goals and ideas behind the SIMBEDS Omnibus Procedure Act, however, noting the fact that it creates problems which must be dealt with immediately
NOTICING the unrestricted ability for Senators to add a bill to a SIMBEDS legislative category after debate or voting has commenced on that said category
OBSERVING this could be a problem in future times if bills are submitted during these times as it may allow for less debate and/or complicated and unjust voting

Hereby instates the following:

1. Bills shall be restricted from being added to a category during a voting period of the same said legislative category
2. Bills shall be restricted from being added to a category during a debate period of the same said legislative category
2a. Clause 2 shall be rendered optional if and only if the author of a bill being submitted during debate motions for at least a 24-hour extension of debate with the required ten seconds and Prime-Minister, Deputy-Prime-Minister, or President-pro-Tempore approval.
2b. Section 2a shall still be instated even if the specific debate period has already been motioned for a continuation with the required ten seconds and Prime-Minister, Deputy-Prime-Minister, or President-pro-Tempore approval.
3. Allows debate to be motioned for a continuation a maximum of two times during a singular debate period. If the continuation level has reached a maximum limit, bill authors are required to submit their bills after debate and voting on the category have ended. In special high-urgency circumstances, the Prime-Minister, Deputy-Prime-Minister, President-pro-Tempore, President of the Senate, or presiding Administrator may allow for another continuation of the debate period but are advised to make this decision with deep thought and discussion between other officials.

The Senate of Aurentina hereby passes the Third Amendment to the SIMBEDS Omnibus Procedure.
