Bill: Vote Villager Murder Fine Amendment 2.0 Act

[A__C]

A
BILL
To
Amend the Animal & Pet Offences 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 “Villager Murder Fine Amendment 2.0 Act"
(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.
(3) This bill was authored by Representative A__C.
(4) This Act is co-sponsored by Representative TheReal42Person.
(5) This bill was approved by Justice Secretary ElainaThomas29.

2 - Reasons
(1) The current Act only states there is a $500 murder for killing a villager. Some people spend time and effort teaching their villagers new skills, interacting with them, and housing them. Those people should be compensated for the death of their beloved villager friends, as people are compensated for the death of their pets.
(2) When former Representative Lord_Donuticus combined bills in an effort to keep them organized, he lowered the fine for Villager Murder from the then $800 to $500, as well as removing the clause that the fine is made payable to a potential villager employer.
(3) Villager costs are high and even $1000 is not comparable, though it is still much better than $500.

3 - Terms
(1) Change the terms of the Animal & Pet Offences Act Section (6) Villager Murder from:
(6) Villager Murder (Original: Westray - Feb 20, 2021)
(i) Classification: Summary Criminal Offense
