49RZ08 - The Catchment Area Reform Act

Clarked in the 2nd Clark (May 2016) of the 49th Ziu
Clark Entry ID: 654
Bill ID: 1184

WHEREAS , at present, the catchment areas of provinces in Talossa are patchy and uncongrous; and

WHEREAS what this means is that provinces have become more and more Senatorial voting clubs rather than meaningful groups of people with common geographical or cultural origins; and

WHEREAS while a balanced intake of immigrants, geographical contiguity and common cultural roots may very well be impossible to achieve all at the same time, this is still a step in the right direction to achieve just that; so

THEREFORE the Ziu hereby amends El Lexhatx section E article 7 as detailed below.

Article 7.3.3 is added with the following text:

7.3.3 Any citizen who happens to find himself living in the catchment area of a different province, subsequent to the creation of a new province or the alteration of catchment area boundaries, will be allowed to choose between remaining a citizen of his current province or becoming a citizen of the province whose catchment area he now lives in. The provisions of article 7.3.2 apply to this rule as if the citizen is assigned to the wrong province.
