Rules of Operations Statute

[Sir Alexandreu Davinescu]

Rules of Operations Statute

In accordance with the democratic wishes of the people of Maritiimi-Maxhestic, and in keeping with the provisions of the Organic Law of the Kingdom of Talossa which asks us to establish the rules under which this body shall operate by majority vote, the following rules are established for the operation of the Provincial Assembly of Maritiimi-Maxhestic and the conduct of her representatives:

1. Legislation for the good governing of Maritiimi-Maxhestic shall be the business of this body. As such, actions undertaken by the Assembly in whatever nature must strictly pertain to the province and her interests. All other business shall be rightly conducted elsewhere.

a. The attitude and rhetoric of members of the assembly shall be at all times professional and cordial, as this shall be the most conducive to the operation of the assembly and good service of the people.

b. As being most conducive to the above cordiality, it is requested that members of the assembly address each other politely, as befitting elected legislators.


2. Legislation can take several forms, and shall be appropriately titled as according to the forms below.

a. A motion of the assembly shall express general intent to the exterior of the assembly or shall govern self-governance of that assembly. Inasmuch as shall be possible, it will not mandate behavior, but suggest it. Passage of a motion shall require a majority of votes of the assembly.

b. A provincial statute passed by the assembly shall establish the rule of law within the province. The primary purpose of statutes shall be to ensure the rights of the citizens of the province as guaranteed by the Organic Law of the nation, and the secondary purpose shall be to further the interests of Maritiimi-Maxhestic. Passage of a motion shall require a majority of votes of the assembly.

c. A referendum shall be an item of law which will change the system of governance, such as the establishment of a constitution. Passage of a referendum will require first a supermajority of votes of the assembly, after which time it will be referred to the people. It will pass into law and given force after approval of a majority of the people.


3. Upon the passage of this law, the first act of the assembly under these rules shall be the proper election of a premier, to serve as master of ceremonies for the province. This premier shall serve as head of government of the province, and his powers shall be determined by provincial law alone.

Alexander Davis (RUMP)

[Sir Alexandreu Davinescu]

I submit the above law for consideration by my fellow members of the assembly. Since some provincial delegates have not yet been assigned, I am not asking for speed. But please take this time to duly consider these rules, which I wrote to best help us govern for the time being. The OrgLaw demands we establish some rules, and I feel that these are more than adequate.

[Sir Alexandreu Davinescu]

I vote PER.

Uh, provincial assemblies aren't even seated yet (am I wrong or isn't it still January?)

The OrgLaw specifically says that the beginning of the term of the Cosa coincides with the publication of its first Clark on the first of the month. But provincial legislatures don't operate on the Clark calendar, and nothing specifically says when they are seated. The OrgLaw just talks about what they are to do "once elected." So really, who's to say whether they are seated yet?

[Hooligan]

Well, the Justice knows his OrgLaw better than anyone, so I stand (sit) corrected. Vote away, ye provincial assemblies.

Fair warning, then, Florencians, for my promised iron fist in the Nimlet (so that something will actually get done this term) is being clenched right now....
