-Title: Illegalization of Ex Post Facto Amendment

-Type: Edit

-Reasoning: The way that this bill originally was written could effectively stop any changes that the government made. I think the wording on this is too strong and that it could effectively hamstring new government laws or changes.

- Bill:
(1) This amendment shall supersede and void the previous edition of this bill.

(2) The terms for this bill is as follows. 'Old cases' Situations of legality prior to a new law being passed. 'New Cases' Situations of legality after a new law has been passed.

(3) A Bill cannot be made to effectively punish someone for something that was previously not illegal. A law can only apply after it has been passed by Parliament and signed by the Prime Minister. 'Old Cases' are effectively grandfathered into the new law and are legal.

(4) In cases of property law (items, plots, land, vehicles (both motor and mobs), pets, krunas, and banknotes) changes, Ex Post Facto protects you from any changes. However, all transactions of said property afterward a new law has been passed are considered 'New Cases'

(5) Sections (4 and 5) can be voided if, a new bill states that 'Old Cases' will not be grandfathered in, or a new bill makes changes to the economy of BusinessCraft, or a new bill makes changes to the Government of BusinessCraft.

(6) If a new law causes something to become illegal and Ex Post Facto does not protect you, then you will have a 3 day grace period to remedy the issue before you can be punished for it.
