How about we start off with the addition of an operative clause! Also I added a specific time period when the report is due and an out for a delegate elected in a special election held during that time period. They'd just have a different deadline. Look at #34 and #35.
Delegate's Report Act:Section 7.5 of the Legal Code is amended to read as follows:
Section 7.5: Freedom of Information Act
31. For the purposes of this section "the government" refers to the Delegate and the Executive Officers, including the departments which they oversee.
32. For the purposes of this section, classified information is that which fits any of the below definitions:
33. Notwithstanding any process for publication, any information which meets the criteria to be classified will not be released.
- Real life information about any NationStates player from which there is a risk of inferring that player's real life identity and which has not willingly been disclosed to the public, including, but not limited to, an individual's name, IP address, physical address or location, phone number, place of employment or education, appearance, social media accounts, and other knowledge about a player, unless the player in question provides explicit consent for this information not to be considered private.
- Real life information about any NationStates player for which there exists a reasonable real life expectation of privacy or discretion, including, but not limited to, health status, both mental and physical; financial status; personal tragedies; changes in personal status such as marriage, divorce, pregnancy, birth, or death; and other similar information, unless the player in question provides explicit consent for this information not to be considered private.
- Information that, upon being made public, would jeopardize any ongoing military or intelligence operations; or jeopardize the security of units and agents participating in them, or be harmful to the diplomatic interests, military interests, or security of The North Pacific.
34. The Delegate will present a report summarising the actions of the government to the Regional Assembly no earlier than thirty days following the most recent General Election and no later than thirty days before the next General Election, unless a special election is held during the time period in which the report is due.
35. If the Delegate was elected in a special election more than thirty days after the most recent General Election and more than thirty days before the next General Election, the Delegate will present a report summarising the actions of the government to the Regional Assembly no later than two weeks before the next General Election.
36. Private government records which reach one year of age will be relocated to the appropriate Declassified Archive visible to residents.
37. At any time a resident may request the release of any private record from the Government through the Delegate and the designated officers of the Executive.
38. The Delegate and the designated officers of the Executive will retrieve information requested from the different departments of the government.
39. Residents who do not receive this information for any reason not specifically designated in appropriate laws or regulations may file a request for the information to the court, where the Delegate and the designated officers of the Executive may present evidence that addresses any claim that release of the information meets one or more of the acceptable criteria for classification.
40. Information appropriately not disclosed will be accepted as classified by a majority vote of the Court sitting as a three-member panel.
