[PASSED] Amendment to the Regional Officers Act (with Charter addendum)
#1

This proposed amendment was attached to the Cabinet expansion proposals as addendum. Because this proposed revision seems to be popular while unattached to the Cabinet expansion, I see no reason not to move forward with a vote on this amendment. Because there is a constitutional addendum, the minimum debate time is five days.

You might want to replace "up to" with "between one and", as with the current wording a Delegate could grant zero slots legally.

I only made that change for the Cabinet, but removed "up to" altogether for the CRS and Local Council. As it currently stands, a game-enforced cap of twelve Regional Officers can be appointed, so it would make sense to give the CRS and LC three seats each. Since the Cabinet can grow and shrink, your recommendation makes sense in that part.

I made a new edit to bring the format of this proposal into compliance with the Law Standards Act. In spite of this, I motion to waive minimum debate time to bring this to a vote.
