     Impressing nonconvicts is in violation of Article VIII, Section 15 of the IDS Constitution. Next time there's a natural disaster, do you want convicts accosting your womenfolk under the banner of the Imperial Dominion of the South? Tongue

Evil seems to be the cheapest way.

Well, if I may quote General Chest Puller:
"I'll be in the brig with the REAL Marines". If that's not a thumbs up I don't know what is!

We need to finish this bill first.

I have been studying for finals this past week, which is why I haven't been contributing much.  Starting next weekend I will be able to pull my own weight.

     Yeah, I've been busy with finals stuff too. Anyway, this is the bill so far, plus a couple of additional edits I've made for clarity:

Well, that's that.  Darths have 24 hours to vote aye, nay, or abstain on the IDS Militia Structure Act.

Aye.

Sorry Taft, but you only have voting power in the event of vacancies, and Pingvin filled that vacancy.  However, I have always been in favor of removing the office of Viceroy and making the legislature a five-member body.

     With the recent proliferation of willing participants, that seems more a reality now than ever before.

The vote passes unanimously and awaits the signature of the Emperor.

     On the IDS Militia Structure Act: by the powers vested in me as Emperor of this region, I thus sign it into law.

     Be it resolved, X Emperor PiT

     Would student financial aid count as public funding?

Depends on the source... if from the college or university or private company, I'd say no, but in a regional program (akin to state scholarships like we have in Florida), those programs are only there to help students in the state university system. So I would be open to specifying government financial aid

     Right, it would have to be government. I just brought it up because the caucus bill that the Senate recently passed made me think that just about any law could be more carefully written. Besides, I think the Private School Administration Rights Act specified that governmental financial aid counts as government funding.

Here in FL we have a school called New College of Florida which was in the papers recently...they got 800 kids there, only liberal arts, they don't give out grades, and the kids all leave the state when they graduate.... where is the benefit behind that school receiving taxpayer dollars- which it is fully funded by!

That is the basis behind this bill
