Legislator Activity Requirements
#1

The system we use for legislator activity is overly complicated, requiring meticulous and continuous record-keeping and the visualization of votes just to conduct a simple activity check. This is ultimately a game, and checking to see if somebody's active shouldn't be arduous math problem.

I propose the following amendment, which is likely more generous than the current activity requirements, and also vastly more simple to count and understand.


Amendment to Article IV, Section 4 of the Charter Wrote:4. Continued legislator status requires active membership and good behavior. Within the first week of each calendar month, the Chair will remove legislator status from any person absent for three non-concurrent Assembly votes more than half of all votes finished in the previous calendar month; legislators who have an approved leave of absence from the Chair shall not be considered absent. Additionally, the Chair may suspend privileges for disruptive members. Frequent suspensions may be grounds for ineligibility, if found appropriate in a fair trial by the High Court.

If only we had this when I was CoA. Full support of course.
Above all else, I hope to be a decent person.

This seems reasonable, but I hope activity checks in their current form will still be conducted while they remain part of the law?

Seems reasonable. We don't want the Chair so burdened with activity checks that they have trouble getting other, more important things done.

Glen granted a leave of absence to all legislators earlier. So, no, they're not being done. Tounge
