iii. To combat the institutional incompetence of the Iowan State Government, the entire State Government of Iowa is summarily dismissed and shall be replaced by an interim appointed administration that shall be headed by the parliamentarian KoopaDaQuick. Such interim administration shall be temporary until the Regional Government has determined that the internal culture of the Iowan Government has sufficiently changed for them to be deemed capable of self-administration, upon which regular elections will be held to re-establish Iowan self-government.

Section 4 (Implementation)
i. This act shall take effect maybe a day after its signature by the First Minister to allow for quality control to check and resolve discrepancies.

Due to the current situation, I think it's important that this bill be moved straight to an open slot.
