This bill was subject to an injunction and is considered VOID
WHEREAS , the Kingdom of Talossa is a real community of real people, friends and relatives, in which real legal issues may sometimes become involved, and
WHEREAS , I am a survivor of domestic violence, and want to make sure that Talossa is not a "safe place" for perpetrators of violent crimes, and
WHEREAS , violent criminals have personalities and interests incompatible with democracy, and
WHEREAS , Talossa has a unique opportunity to actually be the "shining city on a hill" by enacting the "zero tolerance" pledges of politicians world-wide against violent crime:
THEREFORE, the Ziu hereby enacts, and places the following before the Talossan people at the earliest possible opportunity as a referendum, as Article XVII, Section 12 of the Organic Law:
Article XVII, Section 12: 1. For purposes of this Section, the term "violent crime" shall include armed robbery, arson, assault, battery, child molestation, domestic violence, mugging, murder, and rape.
2. All persons convicted of or subject to a restraining order for a violent crime, in a Talossan or foreign court of law, shall be classified in all official Talossan documents as Violent Offenders. Prosecutions obstructed by defendant\'s refusal or professed "inability" to be served warrants, etc., shall be considered convictions.
3. Violent Offender status is incompatible with good citizenship. The Talossan citizenship of all Violent Offenders shall, upon receipt of legal documentation by the Uppermost Cort, be null and void.
4. Violent Offenders may (re)apply for Talossan citizenship, but their applications must include a detailed confession of their violent crimes, with all applicable legal documentation appended, and the Cort and Ziu may take their Violent Offender status into account when voting on them.
