Brief: Amending the terminology applied in a law

Relevant legislation: Elections Act & Judicial Act

Proposal: Currently, section 7 of the Elections Act stipulates that:

7. Separation of Powers Wrote:(1) Offices of the Coalition are the Delegate, the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers, the Chair of the Assembly, Local Councillors, the Permanent Justice, and any of their appointed deputies.

In light of the Judicial Act having reorganised the judiciary to comprise of the Chief Justice and two Associate Justices, section 7 should be revised to reflect the current position of the Chief Justice.

Proposed amendment Wrote:(1) Offices of the Coalition are the Delegate, the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers, the Chair of the Assembly, Local Councillors, the Permanent Justice Chief Justice, and any of their appointed deputies.

As the Elections Act is a constitutional law, this amendment shall require a three-fifths supermajority to pass.

Do we want to broaden it to "court Justices" - to include the associate justices?

I'm don't believe so. As Associate Justice is not a position explicitly firewalled, it would inconsistent to do so here.

Edit: For the record, an amendment to address this exact issue was proposed last month by Awe. There were disagreements as to whether it should include 'Justices of the High Court' or just the 'Chief Justice'. It did not go to a vote.

As announced here, Amerion's three separate drafts to replace the outdated term "Permanent Justice" in extant law have been merged into a single thread.

The Chair of the Assembly

I agree with all of your changes. One could make an argument for recusals for the Parole act, but given that it also explicitly requires the senior-most CRS member, I'm fine with it as-is.

All good.

Does anyone have any issues with these minute changes?
