Sponsor: Frank Loloma [D-AZ-1]
Senate Sponsors:
House Sponsors:

SECTION 1: SHORT TITLE

This Act may be cited as the "No Exceptions Act".

SECTION 2: Banning Legal Matrimony

This bill bans legal matrimony between anyone under the age of 18 years, and a legal minor — be it a minor and a major, or two minors.

SECTION 3: Punishments

• Any individual arranging said marriage involving a minor is subject to a minimum of 10 years in prison, with possibility of a life sentence. This includes if it can be proven that the individual arranging the marriage was also a minor, and also involved in the wedding.
• Any individual convicted of breaching this law will have also committed a sex crime, and will be added to the national sex offender registry.

Who would like to support this? I got inspiration from Giovenith's sig.

Hey everyone, I apologise for the hiatus, a few unforeseen things came up that I needed to deal with along with starting the new semester. Still, it’s great to be getting back into the swing of things.

[Madrinpoor]

Is it generally acceptable to, if you have some sort of thing where people are asking a candidate questions, ask some of your own using NPCs? Or is that like cheating?

I've done that before and then left it open for other people to ask questions.

Haven't checked the maps, but I'd assume it's not. If he's announcing a new Senate run, I'll have Mattox over there if that's alright. Just have to get to my laptop first.
