A
BILL
To
Amend the Oakridge Constitution
The citizens of Oakridge, through their elected Representatives in the Town-Council and the force of law ordained to that Town-Council by the people through the Constitution of Oakridge, do hereby enact the following provisions into the by-laws:
1 - Short Title and Enactment
(1) This Act may be cited as the 'Offices act’.
(2) This Act shall be enacted on the 15th of August.
(3) This Act has been authored by: Sheriff R0ryTheRac1ngCar.
(4) This Act has been Co-Sponsored by: Head of Urban Development Gwiis
2 - Reasons
(1) Offices is a better name for locally ran parts of the town government.
(2) Currently the police department does very little and therefore I don't see it as more important as a legal department whose job is to overlook our Town laws and advise the town over any legal matters.
(3) The residence department has never actually approved residencies and therefore I see no need for it to continue as a part of their responsibilities.
