(3) Amend Sec. 7 (2) to read:
(2) To arrest a player, a peace officer must possess probable cause through direct observation to suspect an individual committed a crime.

(4) Under Sec. 9, add a new subsection:

(5) Amend Sec. 10(4) to read:
"(4) At any time prior to the trial process, both parties may agree to a plea agreement. This plea agreement must be approved by the magistrate, who shall only deny a plea agreement if it is so egregious that it offends the conscience. (4) Both parties may agree to a plea agreement at any time. Parties shall submit the finished plea agreement to the Magistrate Court.

(7) Amend Sec. 18(1) to read:
"(1) Court offenses shall be offenses observed directly in front of a magistrate or justice, for conduct within the magistrate or justices jurisdiction to punish. No trial is required for a court offense, and a player may only appeal a court offense from the magistrate court to the Court of Chancery. The player may submit one entreaty for reconsideration to the Magistrate Court requesting the judgment be vacated."

4 - Changes to the Statute of Limitations Act
(1) Amend Sec. 5(1) to read:
"(1) A player may only file a civil complaint in the mMagistrate or Chancery Ccourt in their original jurisdiction in the event that the most recent conduct of the cause of action occurred within fourteen thirty days of the complaint being filed."

5 - Changes to the Rules of Evidence Act
(1) Amend Sec. 4(1) to read:
"(1) All evidence submitted to a Court during trial must be admissible under this act. When a party submits evidence to be admitted to the record, they must provide sufficient evidence of its compliance with these rules prior to admission. An opposing party may object to this compliance when it is submitted, or any time before a judge reasonably makes a ruling on the admission of evidence. If a party believes evidence not admissible, they may object to the admission of the evidence when offered. A Court shall make a ruling on the admissibility of evidence if a party objects."
