These all seem like bills that are either frivolous, superseded but not repealed, or simply not used. Please look through them to see if there's any worth saving.

What's the IDS Empress / Tsaritsa Act? Link possibly?

[Donerail]

A bill that declared Aliya Mustafina honorary Empress-for-life of the IDS.

They should all be on the Wiki - just copy-paste the title, or ctrl-F in the statute.

I'm for that one at least...

[Supersonic]

Scrap, scrap, scrap. I can't abide 'joke' bill which most of these are.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I am fine with axing most of these. I like the Scribe act, though. My suggestion is to amend it so that the Scribe does not have to be a Legislator (though I think SJoyce would be an excellent choice as such), and then implement it, which was never actually done.

24 hours to object to the amendment.

[Supersonic]

I object. I feel it's far easier to simply repeal the Scribe bill now, and re-write a fresh law thereafter. Rather than merely amend an already broken statute.

     I don't really agree with the description of the statute as broken. I would like to change it, but it is still workable in its current form. The change that I proposed was something that would not even need to be immediately implemented, since the Legislature currently has a member qualified to be its scribe. The bigger problem is one that the Legislature has faced for a long time now, and that is that laws applying to the function of the Legislature are just not enforced.

[Enderman]

I have an amendment, but it's just a look-see, you guys can change it if you guys would want to.

I am against this amendment

I recognize, the amendment is withheld.

[Supersonic]

I move for a vote on the initially proposed bill.

[Donerail]

24 hours for objections. Vote can begin at 10 tomorrow morning.

[Donerail]

A vote is now open on the original legislation. Please vote aye, nay, or abstain.

[Enderman]

AYE

[Adam Griffin]

At the very least, did that awful, pointless flag ever get changed?

[Enderman]

At the very least, did that awful, pointless flag ever get changed?

Sadly, no; and that was two sessions ago, IIRC.

[Donerail]

At the very least, did that awful, pointless flag ever get changed?

Yes, kind of, in a roundabout quasi-legal sort of way.

As an aside: our current flag is this:



I was updating the Wiki, when I noticed that the Dignity of the Flag Act repealed Section 1 of the 2004 Southeast Flag Regulations and the Change of Flag Bill (the latter of which gave us our current flag). Section 1 of the DotF Act was put to a public vote and failed, so it wasn't adopted as law, but Sections 2 and 3 (which repealed those parts of the statute) passed. The Change of Flag Bill superseded, but did not repeal, the Dirty South Flag Act of 2008. So under our statute, this is our current flag.

Aye.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Aye.

[Supersonic]

Aye.

[Donerail]

By a vote of 3-0 this bill is passed and presented to the Emperor for his signature or veto.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     This is the kind of bill I like to see. Good job getting this passed.



     On the Removal of Pointless Laws Act: by the powers vested in me as Emperor of this region, I thus sign it into law.

     Be it resolved, X Emperor PiT
