BILL
To
Amend the Legislative Standards Act
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 ‘The_Donuticus Anti-Vanity Act'
(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.
(3) This Act has been authored by: The_Donuticus
(4) This Act has been co-sponsored by: VanillaChai79
2 - Reasons
Too many of our bills have been stamped with a vanity mark. As members of Congress we are meant to serve the people, not try to make our names go down in history. On some occasions this gets ridiculous with a large amount of letters prefacing the bill name, it serves no purpose other than the vanity of those proposing it.
3 - Add the following to ‘9 - Bills’ in the Legislative Standards Act
(1)
“(5) When assigning a title to a bill it may not contain any personal identifier such as, any names, initials, abbreviations or other such personal identifiers. The bill title should exist to explain the purpose of the bill.”
