WHEREAS the current Organic Law was originally designed in 1997;

AND WHEREAS the current Organic Law has had to be amended several times over the term of each Cosă since then;

AND WHEREAS the need for amendments has only increased since the functions of government moved entirely onto the Internet;

AND WHEREAS the upshot of this is that most of the significant business of our legislature has become amendments to the OrgLaw;

AND WHEREAS amendments to the Organic Law not only need a 2/3 majority in the Cosă and to win a referendum, but as recently shown, can be completely ignored by the King without recourse to an override;

AND WHEREAS the combination of the above points means that a parliamentary majority or even a super-majority can no longer be sure of the power to enact its programme, leading to legislative gridlock;

AND WHEREAS this might be great if you like things exactly the way they are, but as recent polling shows, most Talossans don't;

THEREFORE the Ziu enacts the following bill:

1. With regards to El Lexhátx H.4, a Royal Commission on OrgLaw Reform shall be set up.

2. This Commission shall consist of the following members; three (3) to be chosen by the current Government majority in the Cosâ; two (2) to be chosen by the largest opposition party in the Cosâ; one (1) to be chosen by other parties represented in the Cosâ; and between one and three (1-3) to be chosen by the King from non-members of the Ziu.

3. The members of this Commission shall be chosen and their appointments confirmed by the King no later than November 1 2015/xxxvi.

4. a) The members of this commission shall deliberate upon and produce, no later than 1st of July 2016/XXXVII[1], a proposal for a new Organic Law for Talossa, or else for amendments to the current Organic Law. This proposal must be endorsed with the signatures of an absolute majority of the Commission members and shall be known as the Majority Report.

b) Any dissenting commission members may present a Minority Report or Reports, collectively or individually.

c) Any Majority or Minority reports shall be presented in the form of legislation for an Organic Law amendment or replacement, ready to be introduced to the Hopper. The King will present the Majority Report to the Hopper, and may present any Minority Reports to the Hopper at his discretion.

5. The Commission may call for public witnesses or expert testimony as it sees fit.
