I, Senator Freemopia, am 100% against the Special Commission Act. It is horrible violation of people's rights and is unnecessary. It's so obviously corrupt I don't think a further explanation is needed. Whoever proposed the Special Commission Act needs to be permanently banned from government jobs.

Free Aurentine Language Education Act

Applauding passed legislation that has led to a public education system being established, such as the Public Education Act and the Aurentine Education Act.

However Understanding that education in the language of Aurentine was never made mandatory, and that this could lead to a vital part of Aurentine culture being wiped out.

First Amendment to the Bestiality (Zoophilia) Act
Author: Squecoa (LPA) Sponsors: Divitean (CMP), Minarchist States (LPA), New Zepuha (ALM), Gellinor (NDP), Coronea (RefP)
Urgency: Moderate
Section: Order

Noting that

(1) The prohibition of those who have committed Bestiality from Zoos and places of business that sell animals as well is absolutely unenforceable due to the fact that the database of offenders is only accessible to police due to the parameters of the original Bestiality (Zoophilia) Act and

(2) The required time to see a psychiatrist is by far too lengthy given the circumstances of this act and does not specify with how much frequency should this psychiatrist should be visited by the said violator of the act

HEREBY RENDERS NULL and VOID the following lines from the act:

“The person who commits such an act shall also be banned... going into zoos and places of business that sell animals”

and

“Bestiality shall be punished with a minimum time with a psychiatrist for two years”

Replacing the latter with the following:

“Bestiality shall be punished with a minimum of 7 visits of an hour or more each with a psychiatrist over a minimum period of at least 6 months. This minimum can be raised at the discretion of a judge depending on the severity of the specific case or culprit.”

Those who have been charged and found guilty of Bestiality before the passing of this Amendment shall be made subject to the requirements set out in this bill's requirements as opposed to those set out in the original, unamended bill.

"I am in favor of the Special Commission Act. I see it as necessary to help figure out how the ruckus outside was started," Marcus dijo.
The United Colonies of Earth exists:
to bring about the settlement of all planets not yet inhabited by a sapient species within this Galaxy and Universe by the Human Race, or all members of the species Homo sapiens;
to ensure the observation and protection of the rights of all human beings;
to defend humankind from invasion, catastrophe, fraud and violence;
to represent the interests of humankind to the other governments of the Galaxy;
to facilitate the perpetuation of the unity of human civilization and infrastructure between otherwise self-governing colonies;
and to promote technological advancement and scientific discovery for the perpetuation and expansion of the unity and empowerment of all human beings.
