Title
1. This act is to be cited as the Contagion Quarantine Authorization Act of 2018

Authorizations of Power
2. The Storting grants the Monarchy authority over creating and maintaing information on potential bacteria, viruses, and fungi that could cause outbreaks and mass panics.
3. The Storting grants the Monarchy the authority to, during periods of outbreak and infection, declare Martial Law over areas of Wintreath. Such Martial Law will suspend Section 2.1 of the Citizenship and Demonym Act and permits the forceful quarantine or expulsion of any individual that refuses to aid in the containment of such outbreak, or any individual that fails to adhere to procedure to contain the outbreak. A declaration of Martial Law must be presented to the Storting, and the Storting reserves the authority to rescind such a declaration at any time, with or without the permission or assent of the Monarchy. The Monarchy must rescind the declaration after the outbreak has been contained and is no longer a threat.
4. It is requested that the Monarchy establish proper contingency plans in the event of an outbreak, such that an order of operation may be established to ensure the orderly operation of the Government, and it is additionally requested that the Monarchy share such information with the relevant authorities of the Storting, if not the Storting itself.
5. It is requested that such an agency include the relevant officers and authorities of the Storting.

Limitations
6. Any citizen forcefully quarantined or expelled under Section 3 of this act is to be considered in compliance with Section 2.1.1 of the Citizenship and Demonym Act for a period of no longer than one month from the rescission of the declaration of Martial Law.

Expiration
7. This act expires on the first day of January of the year two-hundred and nineteen of the common era, at one minute past the first hour of that day. Upon expiration any declared Martial Law immediately ends, and all parts of this law are rendered invalid, except for Section 6 of this act, which is to continue in its effect until no citizens are covered under the exception.

Skrifa may vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain

Nay.

This act needs to be amended to be rewritten to meet the changes as recently passed by the Citizenship Requirements Rectification Act. I will note that I am disappointed in Skrifa for moving this to a vote, without keeping that in mind, and giving me some time to amend it since it was passed only today, while I was out.

Nay

Nay.

Keep your disappointment. Maybe communicate stuff like that more clearly when you introduce bills like these?

With three votes against and two votes missing, I declare this act as FAILED.

I will be leaving this vote open for the remainder of the week to record the vote of @Katie and @Syraj

FINAL RESULT
Aye: 0
