WHEREAS, our citizenship rolls presently have a number of "trapped Dandelions" - Dandelions whose parents lost their Talossan citizenship;
WHEREAS, said "trapped Dandelions" may not even be aware of Talossa's existence, and of their right to claim citizenship when they are 14;
WHEREAS, we often have no records about "trapped Dandelions", no means of contacting them and no proof of their existence or age;
WHEREAS, the presence of "trapped Dandelions" needlessly inflates the number of active citizens in the rolls of the Chancery;
WHEREAS, the process of acquiring Talossan citizenship is normally painless, for any former "trapped Dandelion" who would be interested in doing so;
THEREFORE, section 13 of Title E of El Lexhatx is hereby amended to read:
13. Any minor child or ward of a Talossan citizen shall be made a citizen on simple application of the Talossan parent or guardian. Such application shall be made to the Secretary of State and shall affirm that any non-Talossan parent or legal guardian of the minor child (according to and under any jurisdiction of the world) accedes to said citizenship. The said minor child shall be made a citizen of the province to which the parent making the described application clings. Said child shall be entitled to be known as a Broad-Leaf Dandelion, and shall on reaching the age of 14 become a voting citizen according to the terms of Article XVIII, Section 7 of the Organic Law.
13.1. Explicit renunciation of Talossan citizenship made by a parent or legal guardian on behalf of a citizen not yet 14 years old shall be considered as the renunciation of the young citizen himself; but no such renunciation will be recognized that is not made explicitly and publicly and in the name of the young citizen.
13.2. Any citizen who reaches the age of 14 and fails to register and vote shall fall under the provisions of Article XVIII.10 of the Organic Law; but his or her immediate failure to register will not otherwise be taken as a renunciation of citizenship.
13.3. Should a citizen who is either a natural born Dandelion or Broad-Leaf Dandelion as defined by law, and is under the age of 14 or whose current age is unknown, have no parents or legal guardians who hold Talossan citizenship, he or she shall lose his or her status as a Dandelion or Broad-Leaf Dandelion, and automatically lose his or her citizenship.
