A potential repeal of the TSP Legion of Honor Award Act has been floated around by various people over the past month. If it is indeed the desire of the majority of this Assembly to repeal this law then best we do so sooner rather than later.

With that being said, I present this repeal to the Assembly.

Quote:
TSP Legion of Honor Award Act
An act to recognize service to the region in ways military, civil, and political.

1. Definitions

(1) Service is to be defined as any action taken that can reasonably be seen as contributing to the betterment, or advancement of the region whether military, civil, or politically.

2. The Classes of the Award

(1) The award is to be separated into three different classes consisting of:
a. Freedom: Awarded for extreme and diligent service of any kind to the region for a significant length of time.
b. Valor: Awarded for consistent and honorable service to the region while serving in a military position.
c. Service: Awarded for civil service, political service, and the betterment and advancement of the region.

3. The Issuing and Nomination Process

(1) The Delegate is to be the entity that issues the Award to the recipients and must consent to each nominee that is to receive the Award;
(2) The nominees for the Award shall be nominated to the classes of Service, Valor, and Freedom by the Assembly or by the following means:
a. Nominees may be nominated to the class of Freedom by the Prime Minister or Chief Justice;
b. Nominees may be nominated to the class of Valor by the Minister of Military Affairs or the Council of Regional Security;
c. Nominees may be nominated to the class of Service by any member of the government, or by direct regional poll.
(3) Any legislator as well as the Delegate may introduce a candidate for nomination to the Assembly. Candidates are nominated upon the completion of a majority vote.
(4) The sitting Delegate cannot award themselves the honor, and if they were to be properly nominated by one of ways listed, it would be at their successor's discretion to confirm their nomination.

(5) No person shall nominate themselves for the honor or be involved in the process of their own nomination regardless of position held in regards to process of nomination.

4. Revocation of the Award

(1) Any individual who has been convicted of a crime against the region, has been impeached or removed from office in the region, or has been found to have been awarded the Award under false or unworthy pretenses shall have the award stripped from them.

5. Time for Process

(1) The time for nomination to presentation of the award shall take no more than one month except in the case of the nomination of the sitting Delegate.

We should start drafting a better, more functional honours system to replace it.

I'm not sure if such honours are widely accepted by the region — or else, we would have actually used this law. I think the issue lies in the size of our community; we are small enough that many members have made substantial contributions deserving of commendations. Yet, if we were to proceed on that line, every Tom, Kringle, and Viet would have a closet full of medals.

Regardless, there's no necessity to move onto a replacement act straight away. If people want one it will happen, but clearing this one off the books doesn't require it.

It wasn't really a great idea in the first place...i'd support naming programs or sections of the forums after people more.
