Law:The Take Me to the River Omnibus
43RZ25 — The Take Me to the River Omnibus
WHEREAS the so-called "reunision" of the Talossan people is to be accomplished soon, thanks to the successful completion of the discussions that determined the particular details of this great event, and
WHEREAS one of these details is the creation of a new province, La Provinçù Liveradâ da Fiôvâ, territory for which has already been graciously conceded by acts of the Maritiimi-Maxhestic Corporative Chamber and the Maricopa Cabana, and
WHEREAS the existence of this new province requires acknowledgement and accommodation in certain portions of Organic and Statutory law, and
WHEREAS since I guess that pretty much sets the stage for what this bill is all about, rather than just go on and on with more WHEREAS's, I'll go ahead and get on with it, so now
THEREFORE be it acknowledged by the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa that:
- Section 1. Should the province of Fiova be created during the session of any Cosa, the holder of the Senate seat to which that province is entitled shall be named by the Executive Officer of the province. Regardless, the holder of the seat shall be decided at the General Election first occurring following reunision, according to the provisions of Section 3 of this act.
FURTHERMORE, be it recommended by the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa that the amendment to Organic Law specified below be ratified by referendum to effect the following change:
- Section 2. That Section 3 of Article IV be amended to read:
- Each time the Cosa shall be dissolved, there shall be an election for one-third of the total Senate seats (rounded to the nearest whole number). The exact fixed order of rotation of provinces for elections shall be set by law and shall require two-thirds vote in the Cosa with approval by the King and the Senäts to be modified.
ADDITIONALLY, be it enacted by the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa that upon the ratification of the amendment to Organic Law proposed by Section 2 of this Act and the establishment of the Talossan province of Fiova, the following shall come immediately into force:
- Section 3. In accordance with Article IV, Section 3, the fixed order for the election of Senators to the Senate shall be described as follows:
- Upon the dissolution of a Cosa, election to three Senate seats shall be held, in addition to those by-elections necessary to elect Senators to unfilled terms being held on an interim basis by an appointed Senator.
- The initial three such seats shall include the seat for Fiova and the two Senate seats which were originally scheduled for election.
- Thereafter, Senatorial seats shall be elected at each Cosa according to the following rotation: Vuode, Atatürk, Cézembre, Florencia, Maricopa, Maritiimi-Maxhestic, and Benito, with Fiova inserted into this list immediately before the first of the two Senate seats also being elected concurrently with the first election to the Senate seat for Fiova. [As a practical concern, assuming this omnibus comes into force for elections to the 44th Cosa, the following will be the fixed rotation cycle.]
| ELECTED WITH THE... | SENATORS FOR... |
|---|---|
| 44th Cosa | Fiova, Maritiimi-Maxhestic, Benito |
