Bill: Anti-Corruption Bill 2054
Details
Submitted by[?]: Patriarchal Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill is a resolution. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: February 2057
Description[?]:
| Considering recent bribery and corruption scandals in other countries, a system must be implemented to deal with this before Davostan suffers such a scandal. If this were to happen, then any bill proposed would be reactionary and, most likely, disproportionate. Therefore, procedures must be implemented now to deal with corrupt politicians. I propose that any member of the HoR, or any civil servant, who is alleged to have been involved in corrupt activity, should be subject to an inquiry by a committee of senior politically-independent civil servants. A petition signed by 10% of the legislature (currently 50 MHoRs) would be required to force such an inquiry. However, if the subject of the inquiry is to be the Head of Government, a 15% petition is required, and for the Head of State, 25%. |

| 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 Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
