[United Provinces of Atlantica]

I support the Narcotics Act, though I would clarify the legal definition of "minors" and specify that the government, not drug users themselves, shall pay for rehabilitation services if drug users are legally required to attend such rehabilitation services.

As it has allready been submitted, you could propose amendments if it comes to the table in the house.

Budget Stability Act
Author: Ingram Hopp

---

---

To eliminate wasteful spending in all future budgets

BE IT THEREFORE ENACTED, as follows:

---

---

§1 - Revenue Intake

1. Government expenditures shall not exceed total revenue acquired through taxation, fees, tariffs, etc.
2. No budget may be passed by parliament which includes a deficit.
3. Any surplus derived from additional revenue must be placed in a separate fund to be operated the Treasury.

§2 - The Surplus

1. These funds, acquired solely under the circumstance of revenue exceeding expenditures, may be used to pay off existing national debt.

[The Miaphysite Church of Coptic Archism]

If the Budget Stability Act goes to vote with government support, C-P will oppose the government vote.

Budget Stability Act

Please see the folder linked to in #bill-drafting in the Discord. In the meantime, here are some things that stand out, in no particular order:

• You need to define or rephrase: "government expenditures," "etc.," "deficit," "additional revenue."
• Name the Minister, not the treasury.
• Replace "must" with shall; use active voice.
• Sec. 2 merely allows for funds to be used to pay off existing national debt. If the intent is to require surplus funds to be used to pay off national debt, use "shall." Furthermore, assign the responsibility to a Minister.
• Consider adding exceptions/waivers and reporting/audit requirements.

Alright, I’ll get to making one

I'm now leaving the NS Parliament, since I'm busy with the Washington RP. Goodbye to you all.

Fuck that. Traitor . Bye!

Some announcements.

On amendments: if you want to amend legislation, you may propose an amendment in here. (Please don't quote submitted bills when doing so, so as not to duplicate the submission tag.)

Once you have the final form of an amendment, you can submit it with the tag amendment.submit. The Speaker's Conference will then decide whether to include an amendment voting period in the coming week's business.

---

Here are the bills received this week.

• Narcotics Act
• Universal Rights Amendment
• Rational Taxation Scheme Act

The Fair and Open Elections Act has been edited since submission and must be resubmitted.

---

The Constitution (see my signature) requires the appointment of an Electoral Commission "to propose for adoption by the Parliament an electoral and political parties’ law." Since no provision is made for the appointment of the Electoral Commission, the Governor General will do as much. Please let me know if you would like to serve on the Commission. Members cannot be members of a political party (ie, you probably have to make a new character).

The admins don't really bother changing the party member lists anymore, it's hard to keep track of.

How so?
