[size=150]An Act for the Establishment of National Honours for Extraordinary Achievements in the Arts.[/size]
SIMBEDS-Domestic Development
Urgency-Low.
Author-Jean-Henri Rousseau (Christian Democrat)
Cosponsors- Maklohi Vai, Mediciano, New Zepuha, Central and Eastern Visayas, Cadicarrech, Potenco, Seitonjin
Preamble. Realising that many countries award achievement in the arts through titles and honours. The Senate and the People of Aurentina thus endeavour to establish such a system to promote the arts and use extraordinary artistic talent for state functions.
1.0. Concerning the Poet Laureate of Aurentina, the Senate and the People of Aurentina may endow one exceptional individual the lifetime honour of Poet Laureate of the Commonwealth of Aurentina.
1.1 The holder of the title of Poet Laureate may be reimbursed by the Senate with a suitable sum of money.
1.2 The Poet Laureate will be responsible for the composition and recitation of solumn and triumphant odes for state functions when the Senate or Culture Ministry call upon them.
1.3 There can only exist one Poet Laureate at any one time and the title is only lost through the death, resignation or public disgrace of the Poet Laureate. Public disgrace is defined as a criminal or moral indecency performed by the poet laureate of such magnitude that the Senate deems it fit to remove the title from its current holder.
2.0 On the State Chronicler.
2.1 The Senate and the People of Aurentina may appoint a state chronicler who will be responsible for writing down the official history of the nation to be preserved for posterity. They may also function as the official photographer of the government.
2.2 The Senate may choose to reimburse the State Chronicler with a suitable sum of money.
2.3 There can only exist one State Chronicler at one moment in time and the office can only be lost through the death, resignation or public disgrace of the office holder.
The Senate of Aurentina therefore passes An Act for the Establishment of National Honours for Extraordinary Achievements in the Arts.

Limiting of Electro-Shock Practices
Author: New Zepuha [UIP] | Sponsors: Belmaria [LCP], HumanSanity [R-G], Phalnia [CMP], Gothmogs [TR]| Urgency: Moderate | SIMBEDS Category: Health
Section 1. Purpose and Intent -
The intent of this bill is to put limitations on the use of the controversial and potentially dangerous Electroconvulsive Therapy. While many medical minds note it as a largely successful tool for therapists in the treatment of manic depression and severe depression. When under a trained medical professional and under correct procedures the tool can be wonderful. But when applied under the incorrect circumstance by untrained people, it can be potentially fatal.
This bill defines Electronconvulsive Therapy [ECT] as the procedure under gone with anesthesia, to induce seizures to treat severe mental illness.
Section 2. In regards to Graduated Electronic Decelerators (GEDs) -
While not used for the medical field, they still hold a electric shock use to dissuade certain behaviors. Seeing as this is not an approved medical practice, nor is it humane to be used otherwise; this bill bans the use of GEDs. Hereby states: Unlawful Use of an Eletro-Shock device - Using elctro-shock devices such as an ECT or GED in a way that is not consistent with medical treatment, shall be a crime. GEDs shall be illegal, as a behavior modifier whose sole-purpose is to shock someone out of certain behaviors. Failure to comply with this law is a Contravention, punishable of up to 4 months in prison and a £350.
Section 3. Permissions and Proper use -
- An ECT shall only be administered by a licensed medical doctor, who has undergone proper training in the use of said devices. An ECT treatment must be monitored by two observers, preferably Psychiatrists or Therapists.
- Prior to administration of an ECT the patient must consent, or a close relative if said person is mentally incapable of doing so, and the signature of the therapist or psychiatrist seeing the patient must be provided.
- An ECT used for any other purpose than the medical treatment of mental illness is in direct violation of Section 2 of this bill and carries the same punishments.
- During an ECT treatment the patient must be secured to a table, and a mouth guard inserted into their mouth. This will assure against physical harm and prevent loss of a tongue or breaking of teeth. Proper administration will be the shock delivered between two nodes to induce an immediate seizure.
- ECT treatments may not exceed a length of 45 minutes, and may not exceed 6 shocks to the brain, as memory loss is a very possible threat.
- Medical response staff must be on hand in case major damage is caused to the patient being treated by the ECT device.
This bill further places the future regulation of this device into the hands of the Ministry of Health and demands that a committee, formed by the Ministry of Health, approve further regulation, or de-regulation
Section 3a. Special Circumnstances -
Private uses of ecltro-shock devices are permitted in respect with the Body Sovereignty Act, for non-criminal use. Legal uses include, but are not limited to: animal control [within reason], sexual intercourse, reviving of a heartbeat. Illegal use constitutes assault and battery, as well as possible torture. Criminal use includes, but not limited to: non-consented torture, execution of animals, or unlawful destruction of property.
Herby passes the LEP bill.
