Senators, we have nu begun the debate on Amendments to L.R. 23 by 
Hulldom, as per L.R. 037 the author has permission to use the RMB during this debate.
page=dispatch/id=1427326
Seems like there is an issue with the Amendment to Article III, as section II reads that they may be prosecuted for violation of the "Thaecia Legal Code", an Act which has been repealed and replaced a while back, so must correct this.
Other than that it's a fine bill I guess, I'm not sure we will ever need to use this system, however it's not a bad thing to make it it slightly better either way.
Hulldom and Indian genius
I mentioned it to Ashlawn that someone would need to amend that out, but here's the formal language to get rid of: "If the subject of the investigation still refuses to hand over information, they may be prosecuted by the Justice Minister for a violation of Article IX of the Thaecia Legal Code (L.R. 008)"
Oh, well then, will do.
Edit: Offending sentence removed.
Cerdenia and Indian genius
