Hello, there denizens of the General Assembly:
Ideas for General Assembly Proposals
Last Updated: April 27, 2019
Per the agreement of several General Assembly regulars in a recent symposium, we've set up this thread to help gather ideas for potential General Assembly proposal ideas that have not been covered by existing legislation, designed to help new writers find good and manageable topics to write about, as well as to connect with existing authors to potentially work with. We encourage regulars (and others) to submit/post any ideas they haven't gotten to, and might want to hand off to others, or any interesting ideas they've been thinking of. If they're willing to work with prospective authors on a variety of topics, they should indicate as much.
Topics Proposed | Sorted by Difficulty
- Novice:
- Standards for international road freight (trucking) (RL e.g. CMR Convention, Schengen Agreement) - possible categories: Regulation/Safety, Free Trade
- Active reduction/destruction of space debris (intended supplement to GAR #349/#303) - possible categories: International Security, Regulation/Safety
- Replace "Access to Science in Schools"

- International radio communications regs (replacement of GAR #75) - possible categories: Regulation/Safety, Free Trade
- Abolition of debtors' prisons, rights of debtors/bankrupted persons - possible categories: Social Justice, Furtherment of Democracy
- Regulations for labor union agency fees (i.e. fees paid to unions by non-members who are covered by a collective bargaining contract negotiated by that union) possible categories: Regulation/Labor Rights or Adv. of Ind/Labor Deregulation, depending which way you go

Advanced: - Repeal/replace GAR #302 (in progress -- United Massachusetts)
Heroic (do not attempt): - Repeal/replace NAPA ("wrong hands")
- Repeal/replace Rights & Duties of WA States
- Repeal/replace 'The Charter of Civil Rights' (for better definition of what constitutes an allowable "compelling practical purpose")
