The Legislative Procedure Act defines the procedural rules of the Assembly of the South Pacific.
History
The law was first proposed by Cormac in an effort to limit the location of where legislative procedures was held, wherein it was contained in both the Charter and a general law. Omega, a fellow legislator, suggested that it should be passed on a supermajority, and Sandaoguo opposed to including Assembly voting times in the Charter. With this in mind, Cormac created a compromise that proposed that all legislative procedure will be stripped from Article IV of the Charter, and will be legislated in a constitutional law rather than a general law, ensuring that all legislative procedure is found in one place and is subject to a supermajority, but isn't in the Charter.
