February 29th Birth Standardization
Author: Timothy McAllister (CMP) | Urgency: Low | Category: Miscellaneous
Sponsors:

The Senate of Aurentina,

Recognizing, that citizens have been and will be born on February 29th

Noting, that this days existence every four years may lead to confusion as to the age of a person

Hereby, sets the standard practice for such an event as follows:

A person born on February 29th shall have their birthday on non-Leap Years recognized as either February 28th or March 1st.

This shall be determined by the time of their birth.

Those born before twelve noon on February 29th, local time, shall have their birthdays officially recognized as February 28th on non-Leap Years.

Those born on or after twelve noon on February 29th, local time, shall have their birthdays officially recognized as March 1st on non-Leap Years.

Official documents shall record the birth date as February 29th followed with a (F) or (M) for early morning of after-noon births respectively.

Government issued licenses that expire on a holder's birthday shall expire on February 29th on Leap Years.

On non-Leap Years government issued licenses shall expire on either February 28th or March 1st, depending on the time of birth.

Thoughts?

I'll sponsor.

Thoughts?

The F and M part could be confusing because to some stupid people it could look like that's the sex/gender, especially since so few people will have this designation on their ID card. What about a (1) or (2) instead?

Completely missed that, thank you.

Comments (to be revised):

• Sex designation should be offered as M, F, or X (in accordance with ICAO regulations)
• Are these biometric passports (aka "e-Passports")?
• Are eye colour and height particularly important to actually be listed on the passport? Why do there need to be both a frontal and a profile photo?

Reposting this from a while ago. I still need to make some edits, but comments are welcome. Would anybody be willing to help me with rewriting the penalties section to classify crimes correctly?

1. Even though it was not specified before anyways, I will add that.
2. I get the impression that biometric is the world norm by now, but my question is, would that require a lot of changes and/or additions?
3. I find all of those important as the passport is one version of an individual's identification out of the country. Eye color, height, and different perspective pictures can be important to identification when getting down to the thin details.

SIGN LANGUAGE STANDARDIZATION ACT

Author: Skeckoa(LCP); Urgency: Low; Sponsors: Ketapano (NCP), Phalnia (CMP)

AND CONCERNED for the lack of attention given to the deaf community by the Senate of the Commonwealth of Aurentina

HEREBY RECOGNIZES standard British Sign Language (BSL) as the standard sign language that will be taught in public Aurentine schools that offer sign language services

IN ADDITION TO the recognition of BSL as the official sign language of Aurentina, this bill

HEREBY TASKS the Ministry of Education together with the Aurentine Deaf Community Group (ADCG) with the

WITH THESE TASKS LAID OUT, the Senate of Aurentina

HEREBY PASSES the SIGN LANGUAGE STANDARDIZATION ACT.

Second draft dear senators. It is that time to go on fishing for sponsors again. Any one willing to drop a spoke? Or perhaps make further suggestions to the development of the bill?

Transport Safety Act
Author: Ainin [NDP] | Urgency: Medium | SIMBEDS: Domestic Development
Sponsors: New Bierstaat [LCP]

---

The Senate of the Aurentine Commonwealth,


Affirming that to prevent and investigate transportation incidents and accidents, a centralized system for the investigation and prevention thereof must be created, to safeguard Aurentine citizens, permanent residents, tourists and other visitors and to protect Aurentina's safety record and reputation both at home and abroad,

Noting that the Transportation Ministry Provision Act has already deferred regulation to subordinate agencies and programmes, but acknowledging that it may not be enough to protect both infrastructure and lives from harm, and that a regulation passed by the Senate would be much more concise,

However lauding the noble intentions of the Transportation Ministry Provision and Aerospace Safety Acts, which surely have contributed to making the Aurentine Commonwealth a safer and better place for all to live through essential security and safety regulations,

Enacting the following articles, sections and clauses with the full and absolute knowledge of the regulatory consequences and results of the following bill, tabled by Poort-Wüdinge (Constituency No. 299) Senator Alexander Ainin of the Totally Rad Party as the Transport Safety Act of 2013 on September Twentieth (20th), 2013 CE,

Definitions

• Train is defined as a means of conveyance of passengers and goods, by way of wheeled vehicles running on rails, and rail as the industry thereof.
• Powered aircraft is defined as a machine that is able to fly by gaining support from the air using an engine, and air as the industry thereof.
• Ship is defined as a large buoyant watercraft, and marine as the industry thereof.
• Public transport is defined as a shared passenger transport service which is available for use by the general public (i.e. bus, train) as opposed to a service not shared by strangers without private arrangement (i.e. taxi, carpool).

The Senate of the Aurentine Commonwealth,

Affirming that to prevent and investigate transportation incidents and accidents, a centralized system for the investigation and prevention thereof must be created, to safeguard Aurentine citizens, permanent residents, tourists and other visitors and to protect Aurentina's safety record and reputation both at home and abroad,

Noting that the Transportation Ministry Provision Act has already deferred regulation to subordinate agencies and programmes, but acknowledging that it may not be enough to protect both infrastructure and lives from harm, and that a regulation passed by the Senate would be much more concise,

However lauding the noble intentions of the Transportation Ministry Provision and Aerospace Safety Acts, which surely have contributed to making the Aurentine Commonwealth a safer and better place for all to live through essential security and safety regulations,

I'll sponsor, but should the constabularies be the ones serving warrants?

[Ainin]

That's a fair point actually. Should the Constabularies or Gendarmerie be the ones serving warrants to confiscate vehicles?

[The Saint James Islands]

*Senator Christopherson reads the latest bill to mysteriously land on his table*
Transport Safety Act. Hmm... I'd like to sponsor this bill, Mr. Ainin. The one suggestion I'd make: the Constabularies may be legally more suited to the task of confiscating vehicles than the Gendarmerie.

[Kamchastkia]

That's a fair point actually. Should the Constabularies or Gendarmerie be the ones serving warrants to confiscate vehicles?

Constables are civil police. Gendarmes are part of the military who police where its needed and protect certain areas that need heightened security :/.

[Ainin]

Paramilitary, actually.

And what I'm wondering is if local law enforcement (Constabularies) have the adequate resources to seize, say, a Boeing 747, or a cruise ship.

[Gothmogs]

Paramilitary, actually.

And what I'm wondering is if local law enforcement (Constabularies) have the adequate resources to seize, say, a Boeing 747, or a cruise ship.

Well then why not allow both to do it?

[Kamchastkia]

Paramilitary, actually.

And what I'm wondering is if local law enforcement (Constabularies) have the adequate resources to seize, say, a Boeing 747, or a cruise ship.

All that's needed to seize a 747 is just keeping the pilots from the cockpit and ordering ATC to not allow it to taxi, do not provide it with services necessary to taxi and take off safely, etc.

[The Saint James Islands]

Well then why not allow both to do it?

I could see that as an adequate provision. If the Constabularies don't have the resources or manpower to seize a vehicle, have the Gendarmarie do it.

All that's needed to seize a 747 is just keeping the pilots from the cockpit and ordering ATC to not allow it to taxi, do not provide it with services necessary to taxi and take off safely, etc.

Fair point. Might need a few people, but it's probably feasible.

[Vairikai Sari]

*sits down*
One Americanos Please.

[Kamchastkia]

Well then why not allow both to do it?

I could see that as an adequate provision. If the Constabularies don't have the resources or manpower to seize a vehicle, have the Gendarmarie do it.

It's not like you can be discreet about where you take a 747 .
