Title
1. This act shall be cited as the Grammar Amendment Simplification Act.

Legislation
2. "Typographical errors" and "Formatting errors" in statutory and procedural legislation may henceforth be amended at the discretion of the Speakers of the Underhusen and Overhusen in the contexts outlined below.
2.1. "Typographical errors" are to be defined as errors of punctuation or capitalization.
2.2. "Formatting errors" are to be defined as precedent-defined errors in the formatting of legislation, limited to numbering, section titling, and citations of other laws.
2.3. Correction of these errors may not alter the plain meaning of the legislation.
2.4. This power does not extend to Constitutional Law, which shall continue to only be amendable pursuant to Section VII of the Fundamental Laws.
2.5. The Speaker of the Underhusen may only amend statutory and Underhusen procedural legislation.
2.6. The Speaker of the Overhusen may only amend statutory and Underhusen procedural legislation.
3. The Speaker must report any proposed changes to both the Underhusen and Monarch, and must ensure a minimum of 48 hours passes between making the report, and making any such changes.
4. Where either the Monarch or a member of the Underhusen should dispute the change, the Speaker may elect to either explain their changes, or present the amendments as proposed legislation to the Underhusen.
4.1 Should there be no dispute for the minimum 48 hours, or should all disputation be withdrawn, the Speaker may make their amendments.
4.2 Any member of the Underhusen, as well as the Monarch, reserve the right to contest any changes made at any time within the session during which the legislation was considered.

This is based on an older piece of legislation from the 28th term. I thought it would be nice to reintroduce with corrections based on the concerns raised back then. Feel free to point out any more.

Refer to the 32nd term thread for any prior changes or discussion.

Suggest section 4 be amended to include 'or any member of the Underhusen'. As currently phrased it seems like it would require some kind of motion from the whole UH to contest this.
Similar suggestion for 4.2, with similar reasoning.

Additionally, motion to expedite.

Well, expedite is no longer on the table since we're in the realm of being able to bring it to vote now.

Will my suggested changes be incorporated, and if not what reasoning is behind that?

Sorry, my bad. Been quite busy with irl stuff lately. I'll add that right now.

Any other conversation or corrections @Chanku, @HannahB, @AJ BLarg?

I move to vote

Second.

Motion Passes, this now moves to a vote.
