The Imperial Dominion of the South's Legislature

End To Onerous & Ignored Officeholder Responsibilities Bill

X Jbrase

[CatoMinor]

well, sense the AG, was created by an Act not an Amendment, why not update the AG's name?

[CatoMinor]

Had a better idea for legislation. Declare January 13 a regional holiday, "Aaron Burr Day".

[CatoMinor]

Why don't we have a Jefferson Davis Day too!

     Well the point of this is to commemorate the banning (I think that was the day of his banning) of one of the greatest nuisances to have ever plagued Atlasia. It's not like this is an "OMG federalism" bill.

This is entirely celebrating Hamilton's banning

Holiday Establishment Bill

Pentagram Creation Act

Someone should fix the IDS wiki, it should have the current flag and name of the region.

     Alright we now have three Darths again, so we should elect a new speaker. I think I will allow 48 hours for the members of the Legislature to declare their intent to run for Speaker.

Isn't that your #2 in command's job? I don't think 48 hours are needed, we have one candidate for speaker who appears to have unanimous support, so can we just get to the vote to speed things up a bit?

[CatoMinor]

I have no objections to the bill

[CatoMinor]

Aye in the budget bill

[CatoMinor]

Sorry, was a little busy earlier

[CatoMinor]

I oppose this legislation, it is too harsh, as long as both parties are consenting I don't believe there should be punishment, it may be creepy when there is a large age difference but that is where parental responsibility should kick in. Who are we to say love between two people is wrong?

[CatoMinor]

I would prefer the bill just abolish any notion of statutory rape and ages of consent, but I am sure that wouldn't pass.

(What is the status quo BTW?)

[CatoMinor]

Eliminating rape as a crime is just wrong dude

     Statutory rape is different from regular rape.

^^^

[CatoMinor]

The only similarity is that for some odd reason both have the word rape, though clearly one is not rape.

[CatoMinor]

I propose the following amendment

Well if its agreed upon I suggest we blaze through this vote and get to tornado business.

[CatoMinor]

Aye

I would be open to the idea of setting up communities in west Texas for people who lost everything and choose to move out there. the area is losing people so this would be a shot in the arm to the economy out there. Have some money go to helping people who want to rebuild where they are and relief such as food water ect.. and set aside a portion to go to construction of small communities out west.

just a thought

Anywho lets not forget the feds have money budgeted for disaster relief so lets not worry too much about having to spend much of the surplus

[CatoMinor]

I recommend the location being in Loving county, its population has dropped to 82 residents as of 2010 and is on the verge of extinction.

[CatoMinor]

Well how about help repair the towns that need the extra help, but for communities that may be beyond repair make them State Region Imperial Parks? (Pending consent of the people who own the land)

I like most of it, but how about adding this option: Let the landowner rebuild with Government help, or sell the land to the government?

sounds good

[CatoMinor]

I am fine with this

[CatoMinor]

Aye

     I don't think we should move on to another bill now since flood legislation may become necessary in the near future. Briefly discussing an issue raised by Darth Jbrase, he suggested that we issue a request to the Senate to be granted status as an autonomous region. Thoughts on the matter?

What is an Autonomous Country

     An autonomous region is one that is accorded greater control over its own affairs while still being a subnational entity.

Any specifics you're looking for?  Because the regions seem fairly autonomous as is.

     The regions are roughly as autonomous as real-life states. Actually, I'm not sure as to the specifics. It was Jbrase's idea, anyway.

How about including being exempt from the federal income tax? Not receiving some federal services in exchange? Conducting our own election for our federal senate seat, with whatever voting method we chose to use.
