A
BILL
To
To Amend the Criminal Code
The people of the Commonwealth of Redmont, through their elected Representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:
1 - Short Title and Enactment
(1) This Act may be cited as the 'Cheater, Cheater, Pumpkin Eater Act.'
(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.
(3) This Act has been authored by Vice President Eenza, Representative Scassany, Attorney General Kaiserin_, and Representative TrueDarklander.
(4) This act has been sponsored by Representative TrueDarklander.
(5) This Act has been co-sponsored by Senator Multiman155
2 - Reasons
(1) Under the current laws, we do not have a harsh enough punishment for cheating on exams.
(2) The current penalties for cheating are lower than the cost of many of the exams.
(3) By splitting off Breach of Academic Integrity, we can more heavily disincentivize the creation, sale, and use of cheated answers, while someone merely asking for answers receives a lesser punishment.
3 - Amendments
(1) Part IX, Section 3 of the Criminal Code Act is to be amended as follows:
3 - Academic Misconduct
Offence Type: Summary
Penalty: 1 Penalty Units
1st Offence - 1 Penalty Unit
Subsequent Offences - 5 Penalty Units
A person commits an offence if the person:
(a) asks for or gives exam answers with the intent to cheat.
(a) solicits answers to DOE-administered exam questions
Relevant Law:
4 - Breach of Academic Integrity
Offence Type: Summary
Penalty: 20 Penalty Units
A person commits an offence if the person:
(a) gives or sells answers to DOE-administered exam questions; or
(b) purchases or receives cheated answers and uses them in a DOE-administered exam. Anyone charged with Breach of Academic Integrity may not be simultaneously charged with Academic Misconduct for the same Offence.
