A
BILL
TO
Amend the Constitution
The people 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
This Act may be cited as the “B Active Amendment"
2 - Reasons
While a person may get the votes, there is no system in place currently to define what being "active" is during elections.
With the passing of this bill, it will make sure that a person who is running in an election is an active member of DC and is aware of everything, and is at least involved in the community a bit.
Even though everyone does need their time to shine, we have to assure the community that they are fit for a position with much importance and power and will do what they need to do. If they can't make sure they're still a member of the community and do stuff, they shouldn't hold a position in Congress.
3 – Terms
A new requirement for running in a Congress Election will be added, the change is highlighted in green below.
In order to run for the House of Representatives, citizens need to meet these requirements:
Has accrued 24 hours of playtime and 12 hours of playtime within the last 30 days prior to declaring their intent to contest the election on the forums.
Is an active participant in the community, in-game, on discord, and on the forums.
In order to run for the Senate, citizens need to meet these requirements:
Has accrued 72 hours of playtime and 12 hours of playtime within the last 30 days prior to declaring their intent to contest the election on the forums.
Is an active participant in the community, in-game, on discord, and on the forums.
