A
BILL
To
Promote timely application responses from Secretaries
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 'Text Me Back Act.'
(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.
(3) This Act has been authored by: Rep. GoldBlooded
(4) This Act has been co-sponsored by: Sen. Nacholebraa
2 - Reasons
(1) The primary aim of this bill is to ensure that Executive Departments respond to employment applications in a timely manner. By setting a clear and reasonable deadline of 14 days for providing a final decision, it promotes efficiency within government agencies.
3 - Terms
(1) Executive Departments are required to provide a final decision on any new applications within a period of 14 days.
(a) A Department shall be obligated to compensate the applicant with a late fee only if all of the following conditions are met:
(i) the Department failed to provide an acceptance or denial within the required time frame;
(ii) applications for the relevant matter were officially open at the time of the application’s submission;
(iii) the application met all objective and publicly posted requirements that were in effect at the time of submission, including but not limited to required playtime; and
(iv) a Discord Ticket was opened in accordance with (1)(b).
(b) In order to be eligible for the late fee, the applicant, or an authorized representative of the applicant, must open a Discord Ticket, after the expiry of the period specified in subsection 1 of this section, or other applicable deadline, and remind the department of the unanswered status of the application and the date the application was submitted.
(i) This ticket shall not be closed until the application has been answered, and the individual has been compensated under this act.
(c) The late fee will be calculated using the formula (7.3x^3+500) dollars, where x represents the number of days that pass after the notification in subsection (1)(b) of this section.
(i) The late fee owed by a Department per application cannot exceed $25,000 and shall not be less than $1000. The minimum applies immediately after the opening of a valid Discord Ticket.
(d) Congress retains the authority to access information regarding Departmental payments, enabling them to question the Executive in cases where late fees have been incurred due to delayed application processing.
(2) If a Department provides a written response to the applicant within the initial 14-day period of the application’s submission specifying a definite date or time range (not to exceed 14 additional days) for when a final decision will be provided, the deadline for providing a final decision shall be extended by the specified timeframe. The late fee calculation will only begin after this extended deadline has passed and a Discord Ticket is subsequently created as outlined in subsection (1)(b) of this section.
(a) If a Department requests additional information or documentation from the applicant reasonably necessary to evaluate the application, the 14-day deadline shall restart from the date the applicant provides the requested information.
(i) If a Discord Ticket as outlined in (1)(b) has already been opened before a Department requests additional information, the number of days elapsed for the purpose of calculating the late fee shall be preserved. The late fee clock shall pause until the new 14-day deadline has expired, at which point it will resume from the preserved number of days.
