Type: Amendment to An Act

A
BILL
TO
FIRMLY ESTABLISH THE NEW CRIMINAL CODE ACT AS THE EXCLUSIVE ACT GOVERNING CRIMINAL OFFENSES​

Preamble: The New Criminal Code Act was formed with the goal of condensing all criminal offenses into one act. By enshrining that the NCCA is the sole act under which an individual may be charged with a crime, and by clarifying how criminal violations relate to torts, we complete the process of unifying our criminal law.

1. Short Title and Authorship
(a) This may be referred to as the "New Criminal Code Supremacy Act".
(b) This amendment act was written by Multi Man, MP.

2. Amendment
(a) The New Criminal Code Act is amended by inserting the following section to its bottom:

16. Supremacy and Exclusivity of Criminal Codification
(a) This Act, as amended, contains the sole and whole listing of criminal offenses in the Azalea Isles.
(b) No citizen may be charged with any crime unless that crime is listed within this Act.
(c) A victim of a criminal offense listed in this act may use that criminal offense as a tort cause of action in civil litigation when such criminal violation causes cognizable loss, harm, or injury to that victim.
(i) Such victims may pursue compensatory, nominal, special, punitive, and/or other damages or relief as established by common law or statute in civil cases on the basis of such a tort.
(ii) Tort claims arising from an alleged criminal violation must be proven by preponderance of the evidence for such a claim to be granted relief by a court. Criminal conviction may be used as evidence in support of such a tort claim, and criminal conviction shall collaterally estop questions of whether an underlying criminal act is committed for purposes of adjudicating civil tort claims, but criminal conviction is not necessary for a tort claim to be pursued.
(d) Where any other act or policy may conflict with this Act, this Act shall prevail and govern. No act of general applicability shall be read to alter nor modify the textual provisions of this act.

Enactment: This act comes into force immediately upon passage.
