43RZ7 — The Finance (43rd Cosa) Act

WHEREAS Talossan Statute 38RZ15, Section 4 states that “the Prime Minister shall be required to submit to the Ziu, as a government bill, and in time for consideration by the second Clark of the Cosa, a detailed budget listing all planned expenses of the government through the current Cosa, specifying the amounts to be requisitioned for each Cabinet Ministry and the purpose of each such expense.”

WHEREAS I have now completed my assessment of the Budgetary Requirements of each of the Ministries,

WHEREAS the current estimated balance of the Royal Treasury stands at $545.35 (excluding interest)

WHEREAS I am still awaiting confirmation of the exact and correct balance from Sir Fritz and conscious of the deadline for this act, this balance when made available will be laid before the Ziu,

WHEREAS while it is not envisioned that all Ministries will be spending money this Cosa term, I am bound to “take care to ensure that the budget presented will be sufficient to provide for all expenses of the government of the Kingdom of Talossa until the next budget shall be presented, during the subsequent Cosa.”

THEREFORE be it enacted by the Ziu that:

Section 1.
  1. The Prime Ministry shall be allocated a budget, not to exceed $50, to cover all projects and expenses incurred by the Prime Ministry (including the Office of the Distain).
