(c) Expulsion from one's family house - House Expulsion Warrant
For this reason only. A ridiculous warrant to the point where I feel all must be made aware of risk this could be abused. Also a Classic case of people that may have nothing to do with a crime or investigation suffering for the sins of one individual with no thought or provision as to where these people will end up.

Even if the LOIA didn't pass, legally a Prosecutor would still be able to expel one from his/her house through a Precautionary Measure.

Has anyone counted the votes?
I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

As this has five sponsors, it is added to the queue. I also believe it's important enough to motion to the top of the queue, as it would significantly expedite the process of voting on bills. Therefore, I move that the SIMBEDS Omnibus Procedure Act be placed at the top of the queue immediately. (Requires a petition of 7 and president action)

SIMBEDS Omnibus Procedure Act
Urgency: High | Author: Maklohi Vai [LD]
Sponsors: Free South Califas [C], Aeken [LD], Wolfmanne [P-C], Rumostan [NLP], Venaleria [RG], Beta Test [LD], Yanalia [RG], Kouralia [USLP], Malgrave [USLP], Britanno [P-C], Battlion [NLP]


The Aurentine Senate,

Noting the continually growing backlog of bills to be voted on,

Believing that current omnibus procedures are inadequate to maintain a properly efficient queue of bills,

1. Creates the following new set of seven (7) omnibus categories, to be referred to collectively as SIMBEDS, to be used for all bills in the senate:
    -Safety and Order, to deal with issues pertinent to the Interior, Health, and Justice ministries.
    -International Relations, to deal with issues pertinent to the International Development, Defence, and Foreign Affairs ministries.
    -Miscellaneous, to deal with issues that do not fit under any other category provided.
    -Business and Finance, to deal with issues pertinent to the Work, Commerce, and Treasury ministries.
    -Environment and Energy, to deal with issues pertinent to the Environment and Energy ministries.
    -Domestic Development, to deal with issues pertinent to the Transportation, Agriculture, Education, Research, Telecommunications, and Culture ministries.
    -Senate Procedures, to deal with issues pertinent to the procedures and actions of the senate.
2. Mandates that all bills are to be sorted into one of these seven (7) categories as they enter the chamber and its queue. The proper designation shall be determined by the author of the bill.
3. Calls upon all authors of current bills in queue to select a SIMBEDS category in which to place their bill,
4. Mandates that once a category has been voted on, it automatically moves to the bottom of the category queue.
5. Mandates that if a category reaches the top of the queue without a bill in it, it is automatically moved to the bottom of the category queue.
6. Affirms the procedure for moving a category to the top of the queue is the same as for a bill as stated in the most recent and relevant amended version of the Republican Executive Act, i.e. queuejumping
"For the glory of our people, we govern our nation freely. For the glory of Polynesia, we help and strengthen our friends. For the glory of the earth, we do not destroy what it has bestowed upon us."

This finally has enough sponsors..

The Bestiality (Zoophilia) Act | Urgency: High | Drafted by: Rumostan | Sponsors: Gothmogs, The Grand Republic of Hannover, Gallup, Battlion

Noticing that we have not already banned Bestiality,

Appalled that the violation of animals by mankind is still legal,

Hereby makes bestiality illegal. Bestiality shall from hereon in be an act in which a human either masturbates or performs sexual intercourse with an animal. Animals shall count as all creatures that are not human. Masturbation shall be the stimulation of the vagina of penis of an animal for the sole purpose of sexual pleasure.

Bestiality shall be punished with a minimum time with a psychiatrist for two years and a minimum fine of £2,000. If the person owns animals then the animals shall be taken away from him and given to more responsible owners. The person who commits such an act shall also be banned from keeping animals or going into zoos and places of business that sell animals. The person shall also be put onto an electronic database. The electronic database shall only be accessed by the police and shall be used to attempt to make sure that people on the registry do not offend again.
