[Freeze28]

A
Bill
To

Keep the Public informed about changes in the law​

The people of Democracy Craft, 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 shall be cited as the “Information of the Public-Act”.
(2) This Act shall be enacted one week after its signage.
(3) This Act is authored and proposed by Representative Freeze28.
(4) This Act is co-sponsored by Deputy Speaker A__C.


2-Reason

(1) Many politicians, the author included, have in their campaigns promised that they will make information about changes in law more accessible for the public. Little has been done to ensure this and keep this promise.

(2) It is very important that every member of the public knows his rights and is notified of changes in laws, since they directly affect what a citizen can and cannot do.


2-New Law

(1) When a new bill is signed into law, the Speaker of the House, or, in case of his absence, the Deputy Speaker, is obligated to make a government announcement, including a link to the new bill and a short summary of its effects, no later than 2 weeks after the bill has been signed into law.​

​

(2) If two weeks have passed after the signage of a new bill without an announcement covering it, the Speaker of the House, or, in case of his announced absence, the Deputy Speaker, shall be fined 50$ per day of the release being overdue for a “Failure to inform the public”. This shall NOT be noted on the Speakers criminal record.​

3-Important Notes on the Matter

(1) Repeated or prolonged failure to inform the public means that the Speaker of the House is neglecting his duties.​

​

(2) One announcement can and should contain more than one bill at a time. No need for one announcement per bill at all.​

​

(3) The fines for a failure to inform the public shall not be stacked per bill, the speaker will be fined the same amount whether he has failed to announce 1 or 20 bills. These Fines stack every day, capped at a maximum of 1050$ or three weeks being overdue. If a speaker fails to inform the public for three weeks at a time, the failure to inform the public shall be noted on his criminal record.​

 

[End]

Nay - if the speaker is incapable of fulfilling the expectations of the public and the institution, they need to be removed from their position, not fined.
