CONGRESS OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
A BILL TO
AUTHORISE A ONE-TIME EMERGENCY PRUNE OF INACTIVE PLAYERS AND SOLE PROPRIETORSHIPS
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 ‘Emergency Pruning Act’.
(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.
(3) This Act has been authored by Commerce Secretary xXTheoryXx.
(4) This Act has been sponsored by Speaker Antonfr and co-sponsored by Representative Musclebound.
(5) This Act amends the following acts:
(a) Act of Congress - Taxation Act
(6) Notwithstanding any provision of the Taxation Act or any other Act, this Act supersedes all other Acts insofar as they relate to the pruning of players or sole proprietorships, for the duration of the one-time emergency prune authorised herein.
2. Reasons and Intent
(1) The DCGovernment balance presently operates at a considerable deficit, and the prudent stewardship of the public purse demands that no avenue of lawful recovery be left unexplored.
(2) The recent surge of arrivals known as the ‘Jaron wave’ brought many players to our Commonwealth who joined, lingered only briefly, and departed, leaving behind personal balances and dormant sole proprietorships whose funds now sit untouched, the sum of which climbs well into the millions.
(3) This stranded capital serves no citizen, funds no enterprise, and circulates through no market; it lies idle while the Treasury strains, and it is the solemn duty of this Congress to return such locked-away wealth to productive public use.
(4) Reducing the inactivity threshold from three (3) months to one (1) month for this single occasion is a measured and proportionate step. The recovery will necessarily reach a mix of older and newer citizens alike, yet a player of any tenure who has not logged in for a full consecutive month, at the very hour of the Commonwealth’s need, has by their absence demonstrated dormancy rather than mere respite. Because every pruned balance remains fully reclaimable upon a player’s return under the existing provisions of the Taxation Act, not a single citizen stands to be permanently deprived of their funds. This reduction is confined strictly to the one-time emergency authorised herein, and the ordinary three-month protection shall remain wholly intact thereafter.
(5) It is therefore the intent of this Act to authorise a single, targeted emergency prune that recovers this dormant wealth, whether held personally or within idle sole proprietorships, for the DCGovernment balance, while carefully shielding the genuinely active newcomers upon whom the future of our community depends.
PART II — EMERGENCY PRUNE
3. One-Time Emergency Prune of Players
(1) The Department of Commerce is authorised to conduct a single, one-time emergency prune of players in accordance with this Section.
(2) Notwithstanding Section 15 of the Taxation Act, all players with under one (1) hour of total playtime shall have the entirety of their personal balance transferred to the DCGovernment balance.
(3) Any player who joined the server within the last seven (7) days shall be excluded from the prune under subsection (2), so as not to prune genuinely active new players.
(4) Notwithstanding Section 10(1) of the Taxation Act, for the purposes of this emergency only, the inactivity threshold for pruning shall be reduced from three (3) consecutive months to one (1) consecutive month.
(5) Funds pruned under subsection (2) shall remain returnable on the terms set out in Section 15(2)-(3) of the Taxation Act; funds pruned under subsection (4) shall remain returnable on the terms set out in Section 10(2)-(3) of the Taxation Act.
4. One-Time Emergency Prune of Sole Proprietorships
(1) The Department of Commerce is authorised to prune all sole proprietorships owned by any player pruned under Section 3 of this Act, by transferring the entirety of the balance held by each such sole proprietorship to the DCGovernment balance.
(2) The authority to prune sole proprietorships under this Section shall apply equally to any player who was pruned within the thirty (30) days preceding the enactment of this Act and whose sole proprietorship remains active.
(3) Funds pruned from a sole proprietorship under this Section shall be returnable to its owner on the same terms applicable to that owner’s personal balance under Section 3(5).
