- Title: Transparency
- Type of motion (Edit/Removal/Creation): Edit/creation.
- Elaboration & Reasoning: With the recently proposed changes in government, it is becoming more apparent that players should and will be the primary influencers and recipients of governmental control. It only makes sense to continue this trend by setting the government against real world parallels. As such, I propose that parliament implements a transparency system.
Addition Two: The introduction of government transparency.
Starting after the conclusion of this month’s election, Parliamentary sessions and cabinet meetings shall be transcribed and made available to the public on the forum by the Department of Public Affairs.
I. In cabinet meetings, the Cabinet Secretary shall be responsible for transcribing the records for cabinet meetings and handing them to the Department of Public Affairs for publishing.
a. The Prime Minister shall reserve the right to have portions of the record temporarily obscured from the public for a period of six months.
II. In Parliament, the newly elected MPs will decide amongst themselves who the Parliamentary Secretary shall be.
a. The secretary shall be responsible for transcribing the parliamentary session and handing the record to the Department of Public Affairs for publishing.
b. The Parliamentary President reserves the right to have portions of the record temporarily obscured from the public for a period of six months.
Additionally, the Department of Public Affairs shall create an application for journalists to request permission to sit in on a parliamentary session.
I. The application shall only be valid for the parliamentary session specified on the application.
a. The Parliamentary President reserves the right to deny any application, given that a valid reason for denial is provided.
b. Journalists will agree to not carry out of Parliament any information which has been obscured by the Parliamentary President.
Next, each quarter of the year, the Department of the Treasury will release a report detailing the finances and spending of the government for that quarter.
Finally, all publicly funded lands, which includes the houses of government and any land built by the Department of Construction, shall be freely open to the public starting immediately.
I. Exceptions to this rule may be made in limited forms, such as areas of conservation or areas that were not meant for public traffic, as long as a vote is put through Parliament to forbid public access to such places.
Other Information: The passage of this bill declares conflicting laws that are currently being implemented null and void. Future laws limiting the statutes of this bill may be implemented at the behest of Parliament through official vote.
