Citizens, we all know that we can request specific documents from agencies such as the Tigereye, Spellguard, Watch, Seekers, Town Hall, etc. Though occasionally an agency is unwilling to give up a file. In an attempt to filter out corruption by revealing conflicting documents -- whether to the council or the public -- in a fair manner, I introduce the Citizenship Awareness Act.

Should any citizen have a problem acquiring documents regarding any government sponsored agency, this act will serve as an official method of determining whether a document should be released or not.

Looking out for you, -Councilor Geigne

Citizenship Awareness Act

Summary:

This act enables the citizenship to request access to articles of any governmental agency in Sanctuary, such as but not limited to the Spellguard, Watch, Tigereye, Seekers and the Town Hall. This act is meant to reduce corruption by revealing documents from these said agencies, allow the citizenship to point out areas for improvement in the past and present and give the citizenship an insight into the operation of our agencies.

To protect sensitive articles, all articles will be examined over a three-day period by the Council. If a minimum of three councilors believe that the article should not be released, then the article will be withheld. By having the Council judge this, there will thus be no bias from any organization such as the Watch, Spellguard, Tigereye and Seeker as to the release of their articles.

Requesting Rules:

- There must have already been an attempt to retrieve the document without the use of this act. This is to save the time of the council - The request must be regarded to a specific topic. (Ex. "Criminal Record of Ivandur Reynolt", "Trial Records of Bug", Misconduct of Specific Law Enforcement Members, Discussion Logs of Anti-Magic Laws, etc.) - Councilors who are confronted to inquire on a topic must be responsible for judging whether a topic is too broad or not. Should councilors disagree, a majority vote takes place.

Process:

1: The citizenship requests an article or articles related to a specific topic through one of the nine councilors. 2: The councilor requests this article from the needed agencies. If any articles are found, they are presented before the council to be judged for their three-day period. 3: Over the following three days, the council may discuss the contents of the article and it's release. If three councilors vote against the release of the said article, then the article is withheld. 4: If there is no or not enough votes against releasing the article, a copy of the article will be sent to the citizen or group of citizens who requested it.
