Epsilonian Republic/House of Representatives

This page is a log of all proposals in the House of Representatives of the Epsilonian Republic. Pending proposals are currently being voted on, enacted proposals have gained a majority (or super majority for constitutional amendments) and rejected proposals have failed to gain a majority (or a super majority for constitutional amendments). Each proposal is given a code to easily identify it:

• Prefixes
  • ER - Stands for "Epsilonian Republic". Originally this was applied to all legislation, regardless of whether or not they were actually legislation, however as of ER-34A which created resolutions this now only applies to amendments and bills.
  • R - Stands for "Resolution", these are all resolutions, however resolutions that happened before the LSA was passed and were never formally made into laws retain their original ER code.
  • CC - Stands for "City Council" these are all amendments of the Capital Planning Act by the City Council without going to a house of representatives vote.
• Middle
  • [Insert number here] - Number stands for the... well, number of the proposal. These are given out chronologically as they are put up for a vote, so a proposal created after another one may get the first number if it is put up to vote. Multiple pieces of related or conflicting legislation may have the same number.
  • [Insert letter here] - Letter stands for which version of the proposal is being voted on. Most proposals are A however, in the case where multiple proposals all have similar functions and are being voted on at the same time, each of them is given the next letter along, sequentially. This may also be given when multiple related pieces of legislation which are not conflicting are being voted on at the same time.
• Suffix
  • Emergency - These are proposals which were voted on in a state of emergency, and as such may have waived some usual requirements for a vote.
  • [Insert Number here][Insert Letter here] - The number is referring to a either a single proposal or a group of proposals which have similar but non-conflicting goals. This is only given to resolutions which manage the introduction of said pieces of legislation. They also have a letter which is the letter after the last letter used in said group of legislation (eg if the last letter used is "C" because the resolution is managing three bills/amendments, then the resolution will have "D" at the end. Note this letter is always in the suffix, not the middle).

Art 31. Members of the Republic of Epsilon must have representatives in the House of Representatives for their towns. The amount of representatives each town has will be distributed based on the rank, with the number being as follows.

1 - Unranked (SAME)
2 - Councillor (SAME)
4 - Mayor (+1)

ER-03B-EMERGENCY

Proposer(s): Vulpicula

ER-03C-EMERGENCY

Proposer(s): Vulpicula
ER-03C-EMERGENCY aims block a potential source of corruption, by mandating minimum size requirements for unranked towns. This minimum size consists of (1) fully completed building or structure. The goal of this proposal is to block a method gerrymandering and corruption, whereby a bad actor could create several unranked towns with very little effort, and add them to the Republic, giving them more seats. Pre-existing towns such as Tropica that do not meet these requirements will be automatically grandfathered in.

The proposal, if passed, would create an article named Article 31c, which would be the following:

Art 31c. Unranked towns must have a minimum of (1) fully completed building or structure in order to be admitted into the Republic, and gain seats in the House of Representatives.

The following conditions must be met in order for Parliamentary Election to be valid:
(a) The Google Form must allow for each city to split its own seats between every extant party (including independent) however that city likes, and allow for that city (along with every city owned by that Member of the Republic) to split 'ALL' of its seats, should it choose to.
(b) No party shall be excluded from the ballot.
(c) Members of the Republic must be allowed to vote once for each of their cities.
(d) Members of the Republic must be able to recant their vote by contacting the Minister of Elections with their verification code, and be able to request that their vote be deleted, allowing them to resubmit their vote.

If a city desires to revote, it may revoke its verification code by contacting the Minister of Elections, who is to then delete that city's vote, allowing them to resubmit their vote.

ER-29B

Proposer(s): Vulpicula

ER-29B aims to modify Article 34 of the constitution, by creating a new section, known as Art. 34f. Art. 34f allows for elections to be, at the behest of the house of representatives, redone with a new Minister of Elections should issues occur.

Art. 34f: Should the Minister of Elections fail to release the results in a timely manner (or give valid reason for there being a delay), or should suspicions of an unfair or rigged election arise, the house of representatives may submit a motion for a new election. This motion must be done within '7' days of the election's conclusion, and requires the support of at least '8' MPs. The president and prime minister are unable to block this motion, and a vote will be held immediately once the 8th MP has supported it. Should this motion receive a '75%' YEA vote, a re-election will occur, with a new Minister of Elections chosen by the house of representatives. The former Minister of Elections shall be barred from ever holding a government position again, should this vote succeed.

R-03A

Proposer(s): Johngi

R-01A is a resolution to change the styling of the constitution.

The constitution shall have all of its numbers and letters renumbered for clarity, ease of amending and to follow the LSA (Legislative Standard Act) This shall be done as thus: 
- The "Chapter Number." in each chapter shall be changed to "Roman Numeral - " (This is simply for consistency with our other laws, you would say it in the same way) 
- Each article shall only use a number followed by a full stop (no "Art.") which starts at 1 for the first article of each chapter. 
- Each subarticle shall only use a number followed by a full stop which starts at 1 for the first subarticle of each article. While in law this is supposed to be a lower case letter, in practice the number is used in wiki pages because of wiki formatting issues. 
- In a similar manner, each subsubarticle shall only use a number followed by a full stop which starts at one for the first subsubarticle of each sub article. While in law this is supposed to be a lower case roman numeral, in practice the number is used in wiki pages because of wiki formatting issues. 
- Any article which has a letter immediately after the number (notably, article 34) shall have the letter taken away and the article become a normal article, with all of its sub articles becoming normal sub articles. 
- The old article numbers will be kept in brackets after each article. 
- Article change history shall be moved to a single section at the bottom of the page, and the entirety of the constitution shall be rendered as normal text as opposed to code blocks.

ER-10B-CHALLENGE

Proposer(s): ModernArt
ER-10B-CHALLENGE aims to challenge the current proposal by Echohue to remove Article 32 from the constitution. It seems to challenge it by modifying Article 32, by changing "have to" to "strongly recommended." The desired outcome of this is to further the freedoms and autonomy of towns, while also encouraging national unity and cooperation.

Article 32 would read as follows:

Art. 32. Members are strongly recommended allow free movement of people between any other town under the Republic of Epsilon.
