Type: Amendment to an Act
Preamble: If a Speaker is sanctioned, they should not be the one holding the sanction duties for CoI reasons.
1. Short Title & Author
(a) This bill shall be named the “Upstanding Speakers Amendment”
(b) this bill was authored by Wish Coolperson
2. Amendments
(a) Section 4 of the Upstanding MPs act shall be amended as follows:
(a) The Speaker will review the notice from the Ministry of Justice and if they detect no obvious error, will then begin a vote on the sanction of the MP. In case multiple sanctions for the same MP have accumulated, the Speaker may choose to bundle them in a combined vote.
(b) Should the Speaker be the MP that was subject to the notice, the Deputy Speaker shall handle the duties of the Speaker as listed in 4.a.
(c) Parliament shall vote on how long to suspend the Member of Parliament. Among those durations, the longest length that has a simple majority of votes voting in favor of it or a longer suspension, shall be the one enforced. If no length has the support of a simple majority of votes or if no votes have been submitted, the vote to sanction shall be considered failed.
(d) Suspensions issued pursuant to this Act can be ended prematurely via a motion in Parliament. Suspended members may not make this motion on their own behalf. If a motion to end suspension fails, it may not be made again for that MP in the next 48 hours.
(e) Parliamentary Procedure Act subsection 15.vii does not apply to Suspensions issued under this Act.
(f) Suspensions issued for multiple sanctions shall directly follow one another.
Enactment: This Act comes into force immediately upon passage
