Renewable Acts

A renewable Act is an Act that takes effect for a set duration of time. If it is renewed, then the effect of the act is repeated over an amount of time of the same duration as the original Act, beginning when the original Act expires; just as if a new copy of the Act had been passed with the dates translated forward in time.

A renewable Act may be renewed by a simple majority vote. Acts may not be amended before or during renewal.

An Act is renewable if it specifies in its text that it is renewable.

Budgets are always renewable. All bills dealing with budgets for permanent offices, or the paying of salaries of Organization employees, or the satisfaction of continuing financial obligations of the Organization, are Renewable.
