February 29th Birth Standardization
Author: Timothy McAllister (CMP) | Urgency: Low | Category: Miscellaneous
Sponsors: Taras Ignatiev (SAP), Evonian (CP), Skeckoa (LCP)

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 (1) or (2) 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.

In repsonse to the many political parties being created lately, many with vague, silly, or unoriginal goals, I have created this in order to keep the number of parties in check. Hopefully this will allow new parties to be created, but only if they actually bring something fresh to the table.

Political Party Registration Act

Author: Waldmania (NCP) Urgency: Medium SIMBEDS: Misc. Sponsors:

Noting: The influx in the number of political parties.

Realizing: The importance of political parties in the participation of the government and political system.

Further Realizing: That too many political parties can be not only unnecessary but can cause division and confusion in the political system.

Defines: A "political party" as a group of people designed to push a certain political agenda and get officials elected into office.

Declares: That a person may only be a member of one party at a time, official or unnofficial, and that in order to join a new party they must leave their old party.

Creates: The Party Registration Commitee (PRC) designed to register all political parties. All current official and unnofficial political parties are automatically registered. The job of the commitee is to decide whether or not to register a political party based on the following criteria
1. Is the party original? Is there an existing party that strives for the same goals that the members could simply join?
2. Does this party have any particular goal? Does it have a serious agenda and platform that has an intent to take part in the political process and bring new ideas to the government?
3. Is the party fleshed out? Does it have specific ideas and policies that it intends to implement? Can one easily tell what the party intends to accomplish?

-The Party Registration Commitee will consist of 9 people from all across the political spectrum that will decide whether a party should be allowed to register
-A commitee member may NOT disallow a party to register based solely on ideological beliefs. Only on the three criteria listed above.
-Any commitee member found barring a party from registering based on ideology will be kicked out of the commitee and replaced as soon as possible with another member.

[Oneracon]

Why does it have to be a committee, can't we just leave it to the admins?

[Maklohi Vai]

The bill is denied for further IC use. The duty of registering parties rests with the administration. However, limits on registering parties, as per New Bierstaat's bill, are allowed.

SIGN LANGUAGE STANDARDIZATION ACT

Author: Skeckoa(LCP); Urgency: Low; Sponsors:

IN RECOGNITION of the lack of a standardized form of sign language communication in Aurentina,

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

CREATION OF AN OFFICIAL sign language for the Aurentine language that shall be made to be more or less intelligible with British Sign Language, accounting for the differences between the languages.

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?

On another note, I'll drop Phalnia's leap day bill a sponsor

And I will return the favor.

Aware that contraceptives can prevent unplanned pregnancies, control the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, and provide other health benefits.

Defines: A "contraceptive" as a device or drug seeking to prevent pregnancy.

They would be paid for like a prescription drug. We have an NHS type system where healthcare is free. The system doesn't have means-testing. The UK does have a prescription charge, but contraceptives are free. We'd have to establish a card for the healthcare system, which we don't have.
