I present these amendments to the Law Standards Act. They relate specifically to Articles 3, 5, and Addendum 1.

My two main changes are to include the title of the law, as well as the article name in all future amendments. I do not feel so strongly about the ellipses and do not mind removing it if people feel it is unnecessary.

IV. THE LOCAL COUNCIL

...

7. The Local Council representative will have the power to cast have an additional weighted block vote worth of one-fifth 20% of all non-abstaining votes cast on bills, not including the block vote, giving them a one-sixth share of the total vote, excluding abstentions. The Chair will calculate how many votes are allotted to the representative at the close of each vote, rounding them to the nearest whole number, and will then add the representative’s total votes to the final tally.
