Legislator Committee Act
An act to establish a commission to manage legislators

3. Legislator Checks

(1) Continued legislator status requires active membership and good behaviour.

(2) Within the first week of each calendar month, the Legislator Committee will remove legislator status from a legislator if they failed the voting requirement in the past month, if applicable, or otherwise no longer meet the eligibility requirements as described herein. If a legislator no longer meets the eligibility requirements (not including the voting requirement), and it would be impossible for them to meet the requirements before the first week of the following calendar month, the Legislator Committee may remove their legislator status at their discretion before the appointed week. The Legislator Committee may exercise discretion and not remove legislators under reasonable extenuating circumstances.

(3) A legislator fails the voting requirement if they are absent for more than half of all votes finished in the previous calendar month, if a minimum of two votes occurred. Legislators who have an approved submitted a leave of absence from the Chair shall not be considered absent for votes in the given time frame.

(4) The Chair of the Assembly may order the Legislator Committee to suspend legislator privileges for disruptive members. Frequent suspensions may be grounds for ineligibility, if found appropriate in a fair trial by the High Court.

 (5) The Legislator Committee may at any time revoke a leave of absence of a legislator if it deems the reason for their leave of absence is not valid or the time requested for their leave of absence is unreasonable.

Hard pass. It's unfair for a person to be granted a LOA and then it be suddenly revoked; not to mention the Legislator Committee shouldn't be overriding the Chair of the Assembly.

Opposed.

I don't see the issue with the status quo regarding LOAs. The avenue of repair for LOA documentation issues is to recall the Chair if the Chair is not properly addressing them or has not delegated someone to do so.

After thinking about it some more I've decided to withdraw this piece of legislation
