By PC do you by any chance mean the coalition that I'm not a member of and you are serving in cabinet for?
I asked for an appropriate replacement. I provided an example, I wasn't specifically saying you should you that one.

1.1.1a. Deputies may be delegated limited powers while the minister is still present, the powers and limits must be specified by the minister, within the confines of their own power.
1.1.1b. Upon the return of the minister the deputy must relinquish command of the ministry, lest they be charged under criminal law.
1.1.1c. If a deputy is only given limited powers or none at all, only the minister above them may remove or replace them.

Section 1. Preamble -
We of the Aurentine senate recognize that no juvenile law has been put in place. The lack thereof is a serious injustice to the young offenders of the nation. We believe that young offenders are much more capable of reforming in early years, rather than later in life. While the juvenile brain is still developing, and will not develop fully until age 21, the portion of the brain responsible for decision making is not yet formed.
With this being stated, it is with our belief that young offenders can not be treated as adults by the justice system. They need to be educated while being firmly reminded of their crime. Education does not cease when imprisoned, it must continue in a controlled classroom environment until a time in which they can be released back to general public. This system is for juvenile cases, ages 18 and under that are not serious enough to warrant trial in an adult court with full punishment. Sentences are dependent on inmates progression and grade from the approval boards. If they do not meet all requirements laid out by the approval board they are to be turned over to the adult courts for trialing on or after their 19th birthday.
