Furthermore, this act provides a foundation for change and progress via legislative means. 🌹Article I: Definitions 1. “Legislation” is any piece of legal action presented to the Council of Rosaria. 2. “Bills” and “laws” fall under any sort of regulations, criminal codes, resolutions, or recognitions that are not constitutional amendments. 3. "Resolution" is an official, organized decision of the Council addressing a specific matter and regulating daily duties — such as a formal finding or a response to a pressing issue, creating a special committee, the appointment of a new Speaker of the Council or other officials, or other questions for which enacting a law would be inappropriate. 🌹Article II: Basic Parliamentary Procedure of the Council of Rosaria 1. The Council of Rosaria is the supreme legislative body of the region of Rosaria. 2. Any and all provisions regarding the Council within the Constitution of Rosaria apply to this act and overrule this act in cases of contradiction. 3.

Each vote shall be equal. 4. Any constitutional amendments shall have a seven day discussion and revision period upon submission, followed by a three day voting period. 5. Each piece of legislation shall follow the following legislation format. Bills, laws, and resolutions shall be numbered as ##-Year. Bills shall be numbered in the order that they are proposed within the year. Laws shall be numbered by the order they are passed within the year. On Discord, the proposed bill or constitutional amendment shall be linked in a forum post with the header “Council Bill ## | Day Month Year | Name of Bill.” 6. Any proposed piece of legislation or constitutional amendment shall be posted on both NationStates and Discord during the discussion and revision period and the voting period. 7. An adopted bill becomes law and takes effect immediately upon its promulgation. Promulgation is considered to be the creation of a notice on the Rosaria Discord channel containing a web link to the law, visible to all citizens and with a Ping. The law shall be promulgated no later than three days after its signing by the Grand Master. Promulgation is entrusted to the Imperator of Rosaria. An unpromulgated law has no force. 8. The bill may specify the date or period upon which it enters into force. 9. Council Resolutions have the force of law and follow a similar adoption procedure. 10. When amendments to laws are adopted, a notation shall also be inserted before the main text in the following format: "Amendments via Law of Rosaria ##-Year".

Interregional agreements with foreign sovereign regions must be approved by the Council to go into effect. 2. Legislative committees may be formed in order to provide more specialized and collaborative legislative solutions to legal and regional needs. 3.

Public opinion must be taken into account. The above also applies to elections. 5. If public demand arises during the discussion, or at the request of the Speaker, the Imperator may extend the discussion of the bill for an additional three days; this extension shall be deemed a second reading. Such a need may arise due to a lack of public consensus regarding the bill's provisions, the introduction of fundamental changes to it, or the inability of a significant number of citizens to attend the discussion. 🌹Article IV: The Speaker of the Council of Rosaria 1. The Speaker (herein referred to as “the Speaker”) of the Council of Rosaria is the presiding officer of the Council. 2. The Speaker shall implement and facilitate the procedures and processes described in Article I and Article II of this act and ensure the right of citizens to legislate via the Council. 3.
