The following bill, presented by CGJ, is up for vote. Voting opens now, and will close at 6:49pm (EST) on Mar. 31st.

Constitutional Amendment Act – Fourth Amendment (2014)

An Act to amend the Constitution of the Independent Order.

Short Title

(1) This act may be referred to as the Constitutional Amendment Act – Fourth Amendment (2014).

Amendments

(2) Section (16) shall be amended thusly:

"(16) Any proposed bill or act shall be debated in the Senate for no less than three (3) days, after such time any Senator may move to vote on the bill. If a majority of the Senate supports the motion, the Speaker must move the bill to vote within twenty-four (24) hours. If a petition to delay, amend or block a proposed bill or act is submitted to the public gallery, then the Speaker must allow thirty-six (36) hours for it to gain the number of signatures equal to or more than the number of Senators. If the petition achieves this, then the proposed bill or act may only be voted on after seven (7) days after the original submission; otherwise the bill or act may progress normally.”

(3) Section (24) shall be amended thusly:

“(24) The Cabinet shall be made up of a number of portfolios. The Premier may create and/or abolish portfolios at his/her discretion, however, it must consist of at least the following portfolios:
The Minister of Culture
The Minister of Foreign Affairs
The Minister of Armed Forces
The Minister of Justice”

Previous Legislation

(4) Any Act previously in violation of Section (16) of the Constitution shall henceforth be considered a legitimate Act of the Senate. Such Acts shall also be regarded as to having commenced following their initial passage through the Senate.
