Bill: Legislative Calendar Adjustment Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Rationalists (PrCoa)
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 2472
Description[?]:
| This bill proposes to increase by six months the period of time between elections. OOC: The main reason to do this is to adjust the number of "real world" days between elections. Since there are 6 game months in a 24 hour day, right now, elections happen every six real world days. By increasing the time to 42 months, that means there will be exactly 7 days between each election. Elections would therefore be held on the same day each week, making it easier to remember exactly when elections are. |

| Message | I should say, I'm not sure, but I think this doesn't take effect until after an election has intervened. I'm not trying to increase the current term of office. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
