            additional wrong-doing. The committee shall have the ability to interrogate witnesses but may not
            use force or threats on the witness. The witness will have the right to not answer any questions
            presented to them.

4. Delay of Effects

While the need for this is low I'm proposing it. Alright so this shall enter a 48-hour debate period which, after so, a motion to vote can be motioned or to extend the debate. Unless the Speaker(or speaker PT, if active) motions to expedite.

A month seems like a long wait time, perhaps something shorter?

Red tape red tape red tape red tape...

Bureaucracy for bureaucracy's sake. Do we really need a committee to evaluate a committee, which then reports back so another committee can do the job the first one didn't do properly?

Overly complex, far too multiply redundant in and of itself, and frankly I don't see the need for half of its provisions.

Mainly I'm trying to keep things in balance, and I may have gone overboard, however if you want you can correct the revivisons themselves.

My concern is that this Act is entirely redundant, not just that parts of it are.

I agree with Skrifa Weissreich.


This act is redundant and useless. A committee for a committee for a committee? All for the suspicions that what? A Department of Ministry is doing something corrupt? I think the only corruption available to us now is the counting of votes, which Wintermoot could rig. I'm not saying he is, I trust him and I hope everyone in Wintreath does too because he has done nothing to create suspicion of him, but that's the only point of corruption I can find.

    3.2.1 The committee shall then begin the investigation where it examines the claims, and looks for any additional wrong-doing. The committee shall have the ability to interrogate witnesses but may not use force or threats on the witness. The witness will have the right to not answer any questions presented to them.

In addition, if this is to be a bill, it should be worded as I amended 3.2.1

This is mainly for the future, if you wish I can add a clause in there that states it takes effect in the future.

Also seeing as this is past it's debate period, any Skrifa may now motion to extend Debate(and also have it extended for a specific length in time now) or may motion to vote

I motion to extend the debate.

Normal time period I assume

Considering there's been absolutely no response to the motions/request for motions by the Speaker, I think we should allow this Act to drop.

I second the motion to drop. Or, if needed, I motion to vote.

The motion to drop would be a motion to table the bill.

I motion to drop. It doesn't seem all that necessary.

I second the motion to table.
