A. Proposed Legislation (requiring, for approval, a majority of the votes in each House of
the Ziu)
40RZ1 - The TAIAD Act
THE TAIAD Act
WHEREAS Talossa is a community of individuals from diverse backgrounds with many who have direct
knowledge of the frailty and insecurity of the human condition; and
WHEREAS Talossa is a member of the community of nations and has both the wherewithal and the
responsibility to contribute to its maintenance and general welfare; and
WHEREAS Talossa will exceed such responsibility and by doing so continue its long tradition as a
beacon of freedom, uniqueness and goodwill towards all other peoples of goodwill; and
THEREFORE, the sense of the Ziu is that, under the auspices of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a new
agency to administer such humanitarian efforts known as the Talossan Agency for International Aid
and Development (TAIAD) should be created, with the follows points of operation:
I. The TAIAD shall be administered by a Director to be appointed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs with
the approval of the Seneschal.
II. Activities of the TAIAD shall be funded by donations from individuals or nongovernmental
organizations (NGOs) and, where deemed appropriate by the Ziu, legislative appropriations
III. All TAIAD funding decisions are subject to the following approval protocol:
(i). The TAIAD Director
(ii). The Minister of Foreign Affairs
(iii). The Seneschal
IV. All funding decisions must be preceded by notification of the Ziu by the Agency Director and the
Minister of Foreign Affairs within the Clark that such decision will be implemented, including full details
of recipient(s) and funds assigned, at least 7 days before the planned date of donation.
V. To ensure transparency and accountability, the Agency Director shall be responsible for the
development and maintenance of an agency website providing the total amount of funds at the
Agency's disposal, a history of all agency funding decisions and information on the
donation/appropriation process.

40RZ2 - The Gaggle of Substitutes Act
Whereas, Talossans are fervent food and beverage enthusiasts with a boundless ability to enjoy
epicurean delights; and
Whereas, the fine Tex-Mex offerings of Taco Bell with its unlimited access to soda refills are the
official ethnic cuisine of the Kingdom of Talossa; and
Whereas, not all citizens of the Kingdom live in areas that have Taco Bell restaurants; and
Whereas, all citizens have the right to enjoy our national ethnic cuisine; and
Whereas, cognizant of this situation, Z-Tec is encouraged as an emergency substitute; and
Whereas, citizens that live in areas without a Z-Tec or a Taco Bell still have no substitute for
enjoyment of our official ethnic cuisine; and
Therefore, be it hereby resolved that the Ziu:
Add Del Taco, Green Burrito, Red Burrito, Maui Tacos, Taco John's, Chiquitos, Q'doba, and Chipotle to
the list of acceptable substitutes for the enjoyment of our official ethnic cuisine;
Consider local Tex-Mex cuisine offerings as acceptable substitutes should none of the above mentioned
options be available;
Encourage citizens to enjoy our national ethnic cuisine, Taco Bell, one of the above-listed subsitutes,
or a local Tex-Mex offering in their area in celebration of Talossan Independence Day (December
26th).

40RZ3 - The Talossification of Penguins Act
WHEREAS according to the Organic Law, the Talossan language is the official language of our nation, and
WHEREAS this doesn’t seem to be respected, since many official names in Talossa are in other languages, mainly English, and
WHEREAS this is the case in the Antarctic Territory of Pengöpäts, the shires of which are named in English, and
WHEREAS the names of these shires can be translated into the Talossan language, and
THEREFORE the Ziu hereby states that the shires of Pengöpäts known as Coldstrand, Evaniana, and Uttersouth, as well as the
Territorial capital, Everwhite, now have official Talossan forms, respectively: Platxafred, Adiensiana, Sudurbenia, and
Schembiança. The non-Talossan forms may be used as an alternative by those not familiar with the Talossan Language, although
the Ziu encourages all Talossan citizens to use the Talossan forms as a way of demonstrating respect and admiration for our
wonderful language and our great nation.

40RZ4 - The HCEA Act
The Habeas Corpus Enforcement Act
WHEREAS The "right to a speedy trial" is guaranteed to all Talossan citizens under the Ninth
Covenant of Rights and Freedoms; and
WHEREAS This right is not further clarified, nor in any way defined; and
WHEREAS the lack of explanation and definition of such an important right may cause that right to be
subsequently denied the accused, with or without the intent of said right being denied; and
WHEREAS such an important right must be clear and concise in order to ensure the proper
enforcement thereof; now
THEREFORE
In the interest of providing the accused with the rights granted to him by the ninth Covenant of Rights
and Freedoms, the following rights shall be considered to be inalienable and shall be afforded to all
citizens in civilian trials:
a. The accused must be informed of the charges against him by the Crown within seven days of said
charges being accepted by any national or provincial cort.
b. Such notification must be submitted to the accused in writing, by either an electronic medium such
as email, a typed letter, or by a handwritten letter. A copy of every such notice shall be archived in the
Royal Archives by the Royal Archivist immediately after he receives a copy of said notice. If the notice
is given in the form of a hand-written letter, the Royal Archivist shall make a copy of the letter in an
electronic format, such that it may be added to the Royal Archives.
c. The Crown shall have up to 90 days from the time of notification of the accused in which to prepare
its case. If a case is not prepared by the Crown within the allotted time, a mistrial shall be declared
and the charge or charges against the accused shall be rendered null and void.
d. If a case is not prepared within the 90 days limit then the prosecution may request up to an
additional 30 days to prepare its case, which shall be granted or denied by the justice assigned to the
case. This section takes precedence over section [c]
e. The decision shall be based on the legitimacy of reasons given by the Crown, in the interests of
justice, equality, and neutrality.
f. If a case is declared null and void then final jeopardy shall apply unless the prosecution is able to
provide new evidence against the accused with which to build a case. If a new case is tried then the
old evidence may not be used or taken into consideration. A new case must meet the same statute of
limitations as described previously.
