Senate: Passed #61 - Unified Law Act

[Wes]

YSE Proposal #61
Unified Law Act

Purpose:

1. To replace the collection of laws with a single source for YSE law.

2. To ensure all laws have punishments listed for breaking them, that way justices is fair from one person to the next.

3. To remove obsolete laws such as the one making the Qel'noran Industrial Sector a Major Corporation.

Proposal:

1. The senate will go through each law and add it to the new unifed law, if applicable.

2. Laws only pertaining to the military will be combined into a seperate law document.

3. Laws may be updated to reflect current conditions (council replaced with senate, GSA replaced with Star Army, etc.), perserving the original intent of the laws.

4. Ensure all laws have punishments listed.

5. Provide for the creation of better prison and court systems.

I have one suggestion: preserve the old law numbers within the unified law. It's much easier to refer to something by number. Also, new proposed legislation should continue to be labeled with the number system until ratified and consolidated into the unified law.

 

[Wes]

Of course. One the unified law is done, however, the laws will be assigned new numbers as many laws are likely to be combined (such as the slavery act and the living propoerty act, which go hand-in-hand).

 

[Yangfan]

Sounds good. I vote yes.
