| The Sovereign Member Responsibility & Prevention of Brigandage Act
1. Worlds Responsibilities: Freebooting and Filibustering Expeditions against Members or Affiliates, their assets, territories etc are prohibited. If they do occur, the Member or Affiliate from which the expedition originates may be held responsible. A Member, Corporation or Affiliate shall be liable for recompensing the victim polity of any such strikes launched from their territory. - If a Member or Affiliate does not act to stop* freebooters operating from their territory (as soon as it is made aware of the fact such groups are operating they must publicly declare the criminal group originating from their worlds as "Renegades") it shall be considered Casus Belli and Jus ad Bellum for any world to declare war on such discordant troublemakers, and a crime to militarily aid such a troublemaking Member or Affiliate polity.
- Raids on Neutral Independent worlds by Freebooters shall be a lesser degree of offense but shall result in the forfeiting of all ships involved, the stripping of all crew of pilot or crewmens permits for ten years, asset confiscation and imprisonment of those who were deemed to lead the Renegade group in question.
(*Act to stop being defined as taking strident diplomatic and where appropriate law enforcement action against such forces of disorder.)
2. Freebooting: No Citizen of any part of the Republic (or group thereof) shall be permitted to wage war against a Republic Member, Affiliate or Corporation etc unless there is an official state of war issued by the Member or Affiliate from which they originate against the aforementioned group they would war against. To do so shall be considered simple criminality.
3. First Line Enforcement: Members, Affiliates and Corporations own formal Security Forces are initially responsible for the conduct of military and paramilitary forces in their purview (originating and/or operating out of their Sovereign territory). Including but not limited to: Vigilantes, Militias, Feudal Militaries, Provincial Militaries, Privateers etc, unless they are declared Renegades by their Government or the Republic.
4. The Chancellory may declare independent or paramilitary forces as "Renegades" in the event a group is dangerous, normally ideologically motivated, and poses a threat to stability, foreign policy or order, and/or has used military force against the Republic or it's constituents, it's diplomatic partners or independent alignments, or their companies (although this is simple piracy).
- This gives all Republic Planetary Defense Forces, Judicial Forces and the TDF (plus other suitably equipped Private firms with Judiciary Committee authorization to use force to arrest or destroy them with as little loss of life as practicable.
5. Dangerous Ringleaders: Individual leaders or suppliers of dangerous groups may also be declared "Dangerous Individuals" which will constitute a warrant for their arrest by any state or private police or military force. The SBI or Republic Intelligence may place bounties at a level approved by both the Chancellor and Judiciary Committee. These will be placed anonymously with the Bounty Hunters Guild for the capture of dangerous criminals.
6. Assets: Renegade Groups shall have their assets frozen by their World/Sector or wherever else they are held and may be used to pay any possible compensation from the damage they caused during their brigandage or nationalized by the Republic Treasury after recompensing those effected by the crimes of the group in the event the group is entirely destroyed.
7. Oversight: The Judicial Committee shall have the ability to veto a decision to declare a group Renegade. To bypass this veto the Chancellor would have to propose a full senate motion to declare a group such. Removal of status as such could be done by a Court Decision, Chancellorial Edict or Security Committee decision.

| Senator Kruus with all due respect I think this bill has a coherence problem. This first article, for instance: "All Planetary, Regional Governments, Personal Fiefdoms and Colonies (and all similar bodies) are to be considered subordinate to a Sovereign System recognized by the Republic as being under it's legal auspices"—I don't understand what this article is saying. What is this "sovereign system"? For that matter, what is a "sub-sovereign entity"? I recommend your bill be revised to make it clearer and more comprehensible to Senators. A definitions section would be helpful, for instance.

| I hope this is more transparent now.
I wonder now, if anyone could argue with requiring worlds to police their citizens...

| I wonder if this bill doesn't go somewhat too far. I agree that the principle should be established (or reinforced, at least) that a Republic world must be responsible for the conduct of its people on other Republic worlds and in Allied Regions, but requiring a world to "act to stop freebooters" on other worlds seems problematic, certainly for those worlds with no appreciable means of doing so. Whether I support this bill depends on what it means to "act to stop" one's people from causing trouble on other worlds. Is this only military action? Or is legal action sufficient? (For instance, the confiscation of assets to compensate a world for damages perpetrated by freebooters, etc).

| Freebooting such as the rumoured invasion of the Induparan worlds by Pius Dea modern day Cultists from Republic worlds must be stopped. I vote in favour.

| With all due respect, Chancellor, you modified the bill just today, then state it passes unanimously without allowing any other delegates the opportunity to vote?
That is highly irregular and I call upon the Senate to question this action.

| The Vice Chair is asked to remind Senator Lekpin he does not have the floor after the vote was closed. He had the last six weeks to do so.
Semantic changes have been made to remove spelling and punctiation errors due to my Scribe feeling unwell when I dictated this motion to him, and thus to make language more legal was done.
The substance, powers granted and scope of the act have not changed at all.
Corrections to bad uses of Basic where I structured the sentences poorly have been stricken and the language made clear to ensure its fit for purpose before it passed, by doing thus and having the Parliamentarian of the Senate make the changes needed..
Having not seen fit to comment in the six weeks prior, not even to comment let alone vote, would you like to politely request I re-open voting so you may do so? Or would you like that I request the Vice Chair call you to order for speaking when you do not have the floor in such an impertinent manner.

| If you would be so kind, Chancellor Kruus, would you be willing to re-open voting for a short time?
