Introducing three bills that were passed by the region prior to reset. To my knowledge and a quick review of our regional statue, not have been passed post-reset.

Quote

Be it enacted by the Chamber assembled:

1. This legislation may be cited as the Financial Education Act.
2. All certified high schools in the South are hereby required to include basic tax law, finance, and mortgage techniques in the curriculum for students who are enrolled in their senior year.
3. All certified high schools will be required to comply with this law by the beginning of the 2021-22 academic year.

Sports Venue Reform Act

1. The Southern Government shall no longer subsidize the construction of venues whose purposes are to host professional sports games.
2. This act shall take effect January 1, 2020 and does not apply to any current agreements that have been made.

Quote
Preserve our Cetaceans Act

1. Whaling, sealing, and the sale of products produced in the past 30 years through whaling or sealing is prohibited. Violators shall be fined no less than $100,000 for sale and not less than $500,000 for whaling or sealing.

2. The taking of marine mammals by any person in Southern waters for purposes not authorized by the Southern government is prohibited. Permits shall only be authorized for scientific research, for enhancing the survival or recovery of a marine mammal species, or temporary educational photography purposes. Violators shall be fined not less than $500,000. This clause does not apply to incidental take during commercial activities.

3. Commercial gill netting in oceanic waters is prohibited. Drift nets longer than 2.5km are prohibited. All drift nets are required to be made from biodegradable materials and incorporate pingers in sufficient quantities to deter cetaceans. Violators shall be fined not less than $100,000.

4. All ships engaged in midwater trawling must include a device to exclude cetaceans or allow them to escape, such as a Nordmore grate. Violators shall be fined not less than $50,000.

5. All ships engaged in purse seine fishing are required to incorporate Medina panels into their nets and engage in backing-down procedures to allow dolphins to leave the nets. Violators shall be fined not less than $50,000.

6. All appropriate regulatory agencies are directed to consider cetacean safety as a major objective and to shift and narrow maritime traffic separation schemes as appropriate, including outright avoidance of key areas, and are further directed to consider the impact of oceanic noise created by commercial shipping and mineral exploration on such regulations.

7. Power plants that discharge water that has been used by the plant with no significant alterations save temperature are directed to prevent any undue restrictions to access to their discharge canals by marine mammals.

8. All commercial operations that operate to observe cetaceans in their native habitat are directed to maintain no more than a no wake speed when knowingly operating within 500 feet of a cetacean, and may not pursue, encircle, or come in between the members of a pod, make unnecessary sudden turns, make excessive noise, or approach such animals at an angle by which they would be taken by surprise. These operations also may not allow swimming with these cetaceans or coerce cetaceans into bow-riding. Violators shall be fined $25,000 per offense.

A RESOLUTION
condemning President Pericles

Whereas, the autonomy of the Chamber of Delegates from outside intervention is sacrosanct;

Whereas, President Pericles has obviously and verifiably targeted a member of this Chamber;


Be it resolved, that the Chamber of Delegates:

1. Officially condemns President Pericles for his actions

I have no idea if I formatted this right, but it's pretty straight-forward what this resolution is and does. As for it's title, let's just call it the Chamber Sacrosanctity Resolution. That's sounds nice and pompous.
