Quote from: Final Senate Text
SENATE BILL

to give players moving to other regions a grace period when changing regions.


Be it enacted by both houses of Congress assembled:

Quote
SECTION I. NAME.
1. This Act may be cited as the Region Moving Grace Period Act.

SEC. II. THE GRACE PERIOD.
1. Section 14 of the Federal Electoral Act (F.L. 1-9) is amended by adding the following sections and renumbering accordingly:
Quote
4. Upon voluntary deregistration, a person may not be allowed to register again until 168 hours have passed and, unless they were resident in their region of residence and/or deregistered for the previous 180 days  may not register in another region.
5. Congress, by a 2/3rds vote in each chamber, may unilaterally suspend Section 14 clause 3 in times of an emergency. For the purposes of this act, an emergency shall be defined as any event that leaves a significant vacuum in a regional government and/or legislature.
6. Changes to a voter's region of registration shall take effect twenty-four (24) hours after their posting in the New Register Thread; and the voter may reverse the change at any time before this period has elapsed. Having made such a reversal, no voter shall change their region of registration until three hundred sixty (360) hours have elapsed.

SEC. III. IMPLEMENTATION.
1. This Act shall take effect immediately upon its passage.
2. No provisions of this Act shall be applied retroactively.

This has passed, btw. I'll formalize and send to the President once I obtain the Speaker's signature.

Erm, this legislation has no affect on your registration in Fremont. It is not retroactive.
