PASSED: Regional Communications Act
#1

Following the recent court case regarding mass TGs, I thought something like this might be in order.

I want to stress, this isn't anything personal, but rather an attempt to stop potential problems before they happen.

Quote:
Regional Communications Act


An act clarifying proper communication by government officials


1. Communications Covered by this Act

(1) Modes of communication covered include

a. Mass Telegrams
b. Pinned Dispatches
c. Changes to the World Factbook Entry

2. Government Officials

(1) All elected or appointed regional officials are covered by this act, whether they are using powers provided in the "Regional Officers Act" or received independently.

3. Appropriateness of Communication

(1) Communications to the region should be

a. respectful
b. honest
c. trustworthy
d. limited

(2) Communications to the region should not

a. mislead the public
b. push particular legislative agendas
c. attack or otherwise diminish other officials
d. attack or otherwise diminish The South Pacific or her allies
e. attempt to lower endorsements of elected officials

4. Infractions

(1) Charges regarding infractions to this act may be brought before the Permanent Justice

(2) Officials who are found to have violated this act may be subjected to

a. suspension or removal of regional officer privileges
b. suspension or removal from office

5. Suspension

(1) This act may be suspended with the consent of the Council for Regional Security.

I based this off of the Regional Officers Act, but I'm happy to make changes.

Ultimately, I think we need something to place to make sure that people — including the delegate — are not abusing their powers.
