[Venaleria]

This vote has gone on extremely long (2 days late). I probably should have stopped it previously.

Voting has ended. All votes will be counted even if they went over the technical end time. A final vote count will be up shortly.

Debate has started on Order Section C.

This act now has enough sponsors and I wish for it to be added to the Miscellaneous category.

Secular State Act II
Urgency: Significant | Category: Miscellaneous | Author: Osea (CP)
Sponsors: Divair (NDP), Aeken (NDP), Agritum (NDP), Malgrave (MSP), Geilnor (NDP)

Description:.

Recognising that, while the Secular State Act has advanced secularism in our country, there have been misunderstandings regarding it.

Recognising that our nation is better served by the creation of a new version of this act that clarifies matters and improves upon the original act where possible.

Declaring that we must therefore enact a new version of the Secular State Act that will continue to maintain the position of our nation as a secular lay state. Therefore, the following will be enacted and the original Secular State Act will be repealed.

Legislature

• The Senate will be prohibited from enacting any law or legislation that is biased either for or against any religion or stance regarding religion or derives arguments for its enactment from religious texts or edicts
  
• The Senate will be prohibited from enacting any law or legislation that aims to promote any religion, religious belief or stance on religion
  
• Members of the Senate cannot be obliged to participate in any religious practises or rituals. They will not be forced to meet any requirements of a religious nature or have limits imposed on them for not meeting them. They also cannot be forced to swear any oaths of a religious nature.
  
  State Institutions
  
• The State will be forbidden from enacting employee policies that are biased either for or against any religious group or those with particular stances regarding religion
  
• The State will be forbidden from enacting policies in the field of education that aim to promote the views of religious organisations or those with particular stances regarding religious views
  
• The State can never grant any special status to any religion or religious organisation, such as recognition of a particular religion as an official religion. It will also be forbidden from using the funds of the state to provide financial assistance or subsidies to any religious organisation or organisations clearly centred around either promoting religion or a particular stance on religion.
  
  Culture
  
• Concerns have been expressed by some regarding historical artefacts and buildings. Therefore, it shall be made clear in this legislation that the state will not be able to discriminate in its policies against historic artefacts or buildings on the basis of historic connections to a religion.
  
• We recognize that governments may decide to supply funds to historical societies and other types of organizations interested in the preservation of historical buildings and artefacts or to create such organizations. Considering such, the state will be forbidden from creating organizations in this area or using funds for support of such organizations if they are biased in regards to any religion or show a particular stance in regards to religion.

[New Bierstaat]

So what's in Section C?

[Osea 767]

Here you go.

Section C
- Restriction of Corporal Punishment Act
- Criminalisation of Hate Speech Act
- First Amendment to the Internal Security Act

[Quebec and Atlantic Canada]

-ignore this post-

[Battlion]

Restriction of Corporal Punishment Act: AYE
Criminalisation of Hate Speech Act: AYE
First Amendment to the Internal Security Act: AYE

This is the debate phase

[Kouralia]

Here you go.

Section C
- Restriction of Corporal Punishment Act
- Criminalisation of Hate Speech Act
- First Amendment to the Internal Security Act

1) Restriction of Corporal Punishment Act - Corporal Punishment not clearly enough defined. If a child reaches to take a piece of chocolate brownie which mother has just made, and mother raps the back of their knuckles with the wooden spoon that is to hand while saying "No, Jimmy. Those are for your brother getting back from The Army!" is that 'child abuse'?

2) Criminalisation of Hate Speech Act - it states that Hate Speech is 'assault by Person X on Person Y', I would state, 'and must be sentenced as if it were a separate act of Assault.'

3) First Amendment to the Internal Security Act - 'any firearm capable of fully automatic fire that has been modified to discharge ammunition in a semi-automatic fashion' Well, how do you specify this? Is an MP7-SF allowed?
4) I would include a section about how no Private Security Employee shall hold authority over a lawful Law Enforcement Officer.
5) I would include a section stating all P/Sec shall be required to carry identification at all times (i.e. an ID badge), and if prompted to present it to a Law Enforcement Officer are required to do so.

[Oneracon]

3) First Amendment to the Internal Security Act - 'any firearm capable of fully automatic fire that has been modified to discharge ammunition in a semi-automatic fashion' Well, how do you specify this? Is an MP7-SF allowed?
4) I would include a section about how no Private Security Employee shall hold authority over a lawful Law Enforcement Officer.
5) I would include a section stating all P/Sec shall be required to carry identification at all times (i.e. an ID badge), and if prompted to present it to a Law Enforcement Officer are required to do so.

3. Yes MP7-SF is allowed, because it is a semi-automatic variant and not a purposely modified firearm.

4 - 5 Both very good points, and if more people echo your sentiment I will amend the bill.

[Battlion]

I must say I agree fully on points 4 and 5

[Kouralia]

3) First Amendment to the Internal Security Act - 'any firearm capable of fully automatic fire that has been modified to discharge ammunition in a semi-automatic fashion' Well, how do you specify this? Is an MP7-SF allowed?
4) I would include a section about how no Private Security Employee shall hold authority over a lawful Law Enforcement Officer.
5) I would include a section stating all P/Sec shall be required to carry identification at all times (i.e. an ID badge), and if prompted to present it to a Law Enforcement Officer are required to do so.

3. Yes MP7-SF is allowed, because it is a semi-automatic variant and not a purposely modified firearm.

4 - 5 Both very good points, and if more people echo your sentiment I will amend the bill.

I specify Point 5 to require that the 'ID' card be a photo-ID issued by OfSecure, containing their registration number, their photograph (in uniform), their P/Sec organisation, what courses/status they have/have passed, their name, and any P/Sec Organisation registration number.

[Sahrani DR]

I must say I agree fully on points 4 and 5

so do i.

[Oneracon]

Points 3-5 have been addressed.

The suggested changes in 4 and 5 have been made, and the amendment on weapons has been removed from the bill due to its confusing nature.

[Kouralia]

Points 3-5 have been addressed.

The suggested changes in 4 and 5 have been made, and the amendment on weapons has been removed from the bill due to its confusing nature.

"Private Security forces may not use any weapons system which, at the time of manufacture or at any time beyond such point, is or has been capable of utilising any form of fire other than that defined by the British Army as 'Repetition'. Repetition is hereby defined as 'no more than one round is discharged, per barrel, each time the wielder takes the conscious action of depressing the trigger to the point of firing'. Breaches of such a law may be regarded as a contravention, on top of any crimes which may also be being committed."

The Senate of Aurentina:

RECOGNISING the good intentions of the Protection of Religious Freedom for Minors Act,

ALSO RECOGNISING that many religions and religious denominations traditionally perform religious initiation ceremonies on infants,

CONCERNED that said Act, which will be referred to for the rest of this act as the PRFMA, prevents such initiation ceremonies from taking place,

STILL RECOGNISING everyone's right to religious freedom, including minors,

HEREBY ADDS a sub-clause to clause 12 of the PRFMA, which says: "Religious initiation ceremonies performed on infants are exempt from this provision, though said infants may renounce their affiliation with the religious group into which they were initiated once they are physically able to do so."

I would suggest that you change it a bit more. Mandatory circumcision shouldn't be allowed because that can be dangerous and harmful for a person later in his or her life.

There's a movie about it.

Also, there is absolutely no reason to circumcise if there is no potential for harm if the circumcision isn't done.

EDIT: Also, female circumcision has been proven to be very dangerous to the girl that it is done on.

Interesting. I just haven't ever heard about circumcision being harmful before.
