| Message | I don’t support setting a blanket expiration date on RP laws, some laws, like the Government Procedure Act hace maintained order for the government of Beluzia for hundreds of IG years, also trying to remember when laws were passed and when they expire, also I think you are forgetting this is an RP Law, and it would expire itself in 300 years. |

| Message | We thank the United Party for their comments. The Government Procedure Act was recently renewed. It expires in 4719 under this system. The Honorable Law Act, to take another at random, has expired having been passed in 4191. We got that from your RP law list within two seconds. You'd also know if a law was out of date when it was quoted as supporting evidence of something. Besides it isn't gone forever. If the RP law is still valid and popular the "current" set of players will ensure it gets renewed. Nope, didn't forget that it expires as well. It just would have seemed contradictory to say "all RP laws expire except this one." |

| Message | Could we implement a way of saying some laws are exempt but otherwise this looks good |

| Message | Not sure if that is possible without accusations of preferred treatment but willing to listen to amendment proposals once it passes. |
