The Imperial Parliament of the Empire of Man

✠

GREAT COUNCIL OF THE IMPERIAL CROWN OF EXALTED GODFREY

Consilium Magnum de Imperiale Corona elevati Godefridus

                                                                                                                                                                                        

The Third Legislative Term

       The Imperial Parliament, an institution established roughly a decade ago, has been widely successful in facilitating debate between legislators across the Empire, may they be noble Lords, members of the Church, Privy Councillors, or elected representatives. Although the legislature has proven to be an invaluable component of Imperial government, reforms were desperately required in order to boost efficiency within the realm of bureaucratic red tape. As such, after the passage of P.B. 017, the Imperial Parliament has installed “committees” to revise legislation in their early stages, in order to minimize the amount of debate necessary on the floor. For this reason, we wish to offer the constituents of the Empire a list of their legislators, along with general information, and what committees they shall serve on as we enter this new legislative term.

 

COMMITTEES

At the beginning of each legislative term – every five years – the Lord Speaker shall appoint every legislator to his or her committees. Each legislator may serve on a maximum of three committees, with the exception of the Lord Speaker himself, who may sit on four. Legislators are assigned to their committees based on which areas of policy reforms they retain the most knowledge, experience, or skills. When legislation is proposed, it shall be reviewed by one or more of said committees, and must pass by a majority in said committee, before moving on to the floor for a general vote, at which point, it will then be ratified into law. Each committee shall also appoint a chairman, who serves for the duration of the legislative term, and is responsible for organizing committee votes. The committees are as follows;

Judiciary Committee

The Judiciary Committee has been established as the very first committee in Parliamentary history. Their duty is to review changes to criminal law, reformations to the courts system, and to take a major role in Parliamentary investigative inquiries. Any alterations to The Ten Tables shall be processed through the Judiciary Committee.

 

National Security Committee

The National Security Committee deals with matters of the armed services, on both domestic law enforcement and national warfare. They are responsible for reviewing legislation relating to war, guard work, and the general safety of the Imperial constituency.

 

Taxation, Finance, & Budgeting Committee

The Taxation, Finance, & Budgeting Committee serves to review primarily economic legislation. Any bills relating to national tax changes, budget appropriations, commerce, or any other purely economic proposals shall be brought to them.

 

Infrastructure Committee

The Infrastructure Committee reviews all legislation relating to public works, urbanization, housing, and transportation. Bills involving railroad services, public roads, city expansion, or other utilities to be used by the public will be presented to them.

 

Religious Affairs Committee

The Religious Affairs Committee will review and legislation in relation to the regulation or embracement of spiritual or theocratic conduct. Any bills which would have an impact on the practice of religion will be brought to the Religious Affairs Committee.

 

Administration & Rules Committee

The Administration & Rules Committee reviews all legislation relating to inter-governmental structure, ethical violations, Parliamentary rules, and the organization of the state.

 

Foreign Relations Committee

The Foreign Relations Committee is tasked with diplomatic affairs. Legislation pertaining to the conduct between the Empire of Man, other nations, and third party organizations are delegated to this committee.

 

Civil Liberties Committee

The Civil Liberties Committee votes on legislation pertaining to the rights or privileges of the individual citizen, private organizations, or other non-governmental groups.
