Nuclear Restriction Bill

[Peter]

As introduced by Senator MAS117 and written by Secretary of State Siege40.

Nuclear Restriction Bill[/u]

§ I The Government of Atlasia will neither sell technology in the process to generate nuclear weapons, or operational nuclear weapons to foreign powers.

§ II. In the Foreign Policy, all instances referring to ‘No military Restrictions,’ excludes nuclear weapons and nuclear weapon technology.

[Peter]

Let me start off on this bill by making a motion to amend Clause 1 to read:

§ I The Government of Atlasia shall not sell technology to any foreign country used in the development and maintenence of nuclear weapons, tactical nuclear weapons or any other means of creating nuclear weapons, unless the Secretary of State places no military restrictions on said country.

I call the vote on this amendment to order.

Please vote Aye/Nay/Abastain.

[Peter]

The present state of this Bill in its re-introduced form is as follows:

Nuclear Restriction Bill

§ I The Government of Atlasia shall not sell technology to any foreign country used in the development and maintenence of nuclear weapons, tactical nuclear weapons or any other means of creating nuclear weapons, unless the Secretary of State places no military restrictions on said country.

§ II. In the Foreign Policy, all instances referring to ‘No military Restrictions,’ excludes nuclear weapons and nuclear weapon technology.

[Peter]

I would also like to propose another four amendments to make this a bill, rather than some meandering thoughts.

§ II. The Government of Atlasia shall not sell technology to any foreign country used in the development and maintenence of nuclear reactors, nuclear plants, or any other means of harnessing or using nuclear fuel for energy, unless the Secretary of State places no military restrictions on said country.

§ III. The Government of Atlasia shall not sell technology to produce, manufacture, or create nuclear fuel and may not sell any nuclear fuel already created for use in weapons or reactors, unless the Secretary of State places no military restrictions on said country.

§ IV. If the Secretary of State changes designation on any country from "Full or Partial Military Restrictions" to "No Military Restrictions", the ability to purchase nuclear materials, as outlined in Clauses 1-3, shall not apply to said country unless said country country keeps the "No Military Restrictions" designation from the Secretary of State for more than one year consecutively.

§ V.  If the Secretary of State changes designation on any country from "No Military Restrictions" to "Full or Partial Military Restrictions", the ability to purchase nuclear materials, as outlined in Clauses 1-3, shall be stopped immediately to said country, and any prior transactions between the Government of Atlasia and said country in any nuclear materials shall be revoked and no more materials shall be sent to said country.

I open the vote on these 4 amendments, which shall be voted on separately.

[Peter]

With 7 for and 3 Senators not yet voting, these amendments have passed.

The Bill now stands as the following:

Nuclear Restriction Bill

§ I The Government of Atlasia shall not sell technology to any foreign country used in the development and maintenence of nuclear weapons, tactical nuclear weapons or any other means of creating nuclear weapons, unless the Secretary of State places no military restrictions on said country.

§ II.

§ III. The Government of Atlasia shall not sell technology to produce, manufacture, or create nuclear fuel and may not sell any nuclear fuel already created for use in weapons or reactors, unless the Secretary of State places no military restrictions on said country.

§ IV. If the Secretary of State changes designation on any country from "Full or Partial Military Restrictions" to "No Military Restrictions", the ability to purchase nuclear materials, as outlined in Clauses 1-3, shall not apply to said country unless said country country keeps the "No Military Restrictions" designation from the Secretary of State for more than one year consecutively.

§ V.  If the Secretary of State changes designation on any country from "No Military Restrictions" to "Full or Partial Military Restrictions", the ability to purchase nuclear materials, as outlined in Clauses 1-3, shall be stopped immediately to said country, and any prior transactions between the Government of Atlasia and said country in any nuclear materials shall be revoked and no more materials shall be sent to said country.
