[ToadKing]

CONGRESS OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
​

---

A BILL TO

Stop the Circumvention of Plot Limits Through the Use of Contracts with Proxy Holders




​

---

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 'Plot Limit Circumvention Prevention Act'.

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

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

(4) This Act has been co-sponsored by PoS EATB.

(5) This Act amends the following acts:

(a) Redmont Civil Code Act

2. Reasons and Intent

(1) Players are currently utilising contracts akin to a "Property Trust and Management Agreement" to bypass the statutory plot ownership limits.

(2) Separating legal title from equitable interest allows a single player to effectively control and profit from an unlimited number of properties, exacerbating plot monopolisation and undermining the statutory limit of how many plots a player can hold.

(3) This amendment clarifies that legal arrangements such as contracts cannot be used to circumvent public law.

PART II — AMENDMENTS​

(1) PART VII of the Redmont Civil Code Act shall be amended by adding the following new violation:
