Amend the Legislative Standards Act Bill and Resolution Formatting




​

---

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:


​

PART I — PRELIMINARIES​

1. Short Title and Enactment

(1) This Act may be cited as the 'Formatting Amendment Act'

(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.

(3) This Act has been authored by Rep. ToadKing.

(4) This Act has been co-sponsored by Senator Omegabiebel.

2. Reasons and Intent

(1) To clarify that Acts may use flexible numbering systems for Parts and Sections.

(2) To explicitly permit section numbering to restart within each Part.

(3) To provide drafters with discretion in organising complex legislation while maintaining readability and logical structure.

PART II — AMENDMENTS​

3. Amendments

(1) The Bills and Resolution Formatting page shall be amended to add this text below Resolution BBCode Template:

"All content after Section 1(4) for Acts and Section 1(3) for Resolutions may be amended and removed as needed, but must be consistent with template styling, subject to any alterations defined below.

Acts and Resolutions may adopt either of the following numbering systems at the drafter's discretion:
Continuous numbering. Section numbers increment continuously throughout the entire Act, regardless of Part divisions; or
Part-based numbering. Section numbers restart at 1 within each new Part.

Subsection and sub-subsection numbering shall follow the hierarchy established in the template: (1), (a), (i), but may be adjusted as needed for clarity and organisation.

Once an Act or Resolution adopts a numbering system, that system should be maintained consistently throughout the document unless there is a compelling organisational reason to deviate."
