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 'Resolution Process Act.'
(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.
(3) This Act has been authored by Senator CaseyLeFaye.
(4) This Act has been co-sponsored by Senator CaseyLeFaye.
2 - Reasons
(1) Currently, resolutions do not have any explicit process or rules. This Bill seeks to codify that they have the same process and rules as Bills.
(2) To amend the Legislative Standards Act.
3 - Amendment
(1) Section 9 of the Legislative Standards Act shall be amended as follows:
“(1) Congress may pass non-binding resolutions to express opinions or make formal requests as formal requests to the Executive and the Departments. These do not require presidential assent.
(2) The template for Resolutions will be annexed to this act in a separate thread. Any amendments to the Resolution format will be an amendment to the Legislative Standards Act.
(3) Resolutions shall follow the same process and rules of Bills as outlined in this Act unless otherwise specified.
(4) Standing orders and other legislation may still make distinctions between Bills and Resolutions.
(5) Sub-subsection 10(5)(a) and Subsection (6) do not apply to Resolutions. After a Resolution passes both chambers of Congress, it shall be moved to the Resolutions forum rather than await assent.”
