14th Lincoln General Court Legislation Introduction Thread

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

Introduce bills for the 14th LGC here.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Anti-Separatist Amendment

In order to prevent armed separatism and civil war, I consider it necessary to highlight the following special point

by adding a new Section to the Bill of Rights between Section 8 and Section 9:

8. The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, save when in times of war or rebellion the public safety may require it.

9. The Governor and other commanders of the Lincoln military have no authority to order the Lincoln military to attack or besiege the military of the lawful government of Atlasia and members of the lawful government of Atlasia; such orders are illegal and not enforceable. This section shall not apply should the government of Atlasia strike first by attacking the citizens or the territory of Lincoln.

9. 10. The enumeration of certain rights in this Constitution shall not be construed as to deny those natural and inherent rights herein unlisted.

II. General Provisions

LGC 13.21, the "Chicago Bears Stadium Act", is repealed in its entirety.

And a comment....I don't think the region should be spending three hundred million of taxpayer dollars to fund a new stadium for the Bears and Cubs.  If the State of Illinois wants to do that, let them go ahead and do it...but the region itself has more important priorities than corporate handouts. 

And frankly, I believe most new stadiums should be constructed using primarily private funds.

Anyone who is removed may immediately seek a return to the General Court in the next election to be held, which may be a special election.

Add to Article IV the following new section:

A successful petition will result in a region-wide Yes/No referendum on the recall of the official, held according to the same schedule used for other referendums, except that no more than 1 recall will be held each weekend. A 3/5 majority of those voting Aye or Nay is required for removal. Abstentions shall not affect the results.

Add to Article VIII the following new section:

Unfortunately as the court will be dissolved shortly (start of general elections, so in an hour), it is impossible to introduce this to the floor right now. However I will introduce this myself next session, or ask another deputy to do so should I not be in the next session for one reason or another.
