[TheStormcrafter]

The Greens in the Alexandrian Parliament
Through their Member of Parliament ItsStormcraft
Move to Pass
The Eminent Imminent Fixes Act​

Parliament notes:
(1) The current property rules are a mess.

(a) There exist three different Acts over which regulations are spread.​

(b) These Acts are too commonly in contradiction of each other.​

(c) A functional eviction process is therefore not guaranteed.​

(2) There is an untabled draft brought forth by the SKP faction through their Minister Ibney0 to consolidate property rules.

(a) This draft seeks to consolidate the rules into one Act and remove any contradictions.​

(b) This draft also reduced the time requirement set forth in the Inactive Owner Act.​

(i) Because of this, the Playtime Requirements Easement Act did not include easement in the Inactive Owner Act.​

(ii) The playtime requirement to own property is therefore still at 6h/30d, way above all other regulations.​

(3) Formally quoting the Realtor-Act is painful.

Based on this, Parliament decides:
(1) To provide imminent relief and to make the eviction process functional.

(a) For this, the straight ownership guarantee of the R.E.A.L.T.O.R. Act automatically granted at a certain playtime will be repealed.​

(b) A more specific auctioning and compensation system will be established.​

(c) The playtime requirement will be set to the regular 4h/30d.​

(2) Parliament will not consolidate property regulations at this time. This will be left to the more extensive reforms set forth in the aforementioned draft.

(a) This Act shall only seek to provide with the most simple and necessary steps to create a functional system in the interim.​

(3) To properly grant the Realtor-Act an abbreviation.

To fulfil this, Parliament projects the following expenses:
(1) The MoD will be empowered to receive a share of auctioning prices.
(2) There are no direct expenses linked to the enactment of this Act.

Further, Parliament projects the following administrative efforts:
(1) There is no further administrative burden on the enforcement of these rules.
(2) The MoD will not require any more employees to enforce the amended Acts.

To implement the above, Parliament passes:
