I feel that this should be an important addition to the legal code and make sure that nations who have been banned/ejected are aware of their right to appeal their ban through a judicial review.

Not sure about "serial spammers" though I understand what you're trying to accomplish here.

Don't have the exact wording at the moment, but perhaps instead it could refer to the nationstate rules being violated or the nation being deleted by moderators or otherwise warned as a result of a getting help request?
 
The intention of this bill seems good enough, though I imagine some kinks in the wording will need to be worked out. Specifically, what McM mentioned, as well as what constitutes a history
 
I'd recommend that any ban other than one imposed by the court needs a notification. Spamming is covered in the criminal code (1.5) as well as recruitment (1.7). Start prepping templates to send out. Honestly takes a minute to follow through and send a telegram.

Problem is that often we ban multiple nations within minutes and then they are mod deleted. Seems like a waste of time. Nessie in particular already has a lot to do, so adding unnecessary notifications where it can be avoided seems unduly burdensome.
 
Perhaps provide a timeframe for the notifications to be sent? Say, 24 hours? Then, include that nations which no longer exist do not need to be sent a telegram. That should solve this issue I believe. That way, if Nessie bans a number of nations in a while, files a GHR, then he can check back a few hours later to see which nations still exist and need to be sent telegrams.
 
I have updated the bill to reflect the comments made.

Would it be preferred to broaden who can inform the nation?

I'm just thinking of cases where a BCer is on mobile and we can bother them to banject but it'd be more difficult for them to write a telegram.

Who would you propose that we expand it to?

I think that any RO or GA could so so.

Wasn't sure. Would need to phrase it appropriately somehow.

I think Artemis's suggestion works. Just want to avoid a scenario where a telegram isn't sent in 24 hours and results in finger pointing.
 
I wonder if "inform...of the action taken" includes information on the reason the action was taken? I think it's preferable to make clear the reason to the ejected nation to help them determine if a judicial review is a reasonable course of action.
 
I move for a vote.
The motion to vote is recognised and the bill has entered formal debate which will last for 5 days, after which a vote will be undertaken.
 
It would be ideal for the proposal to be expanded to allow another to notify (as suggested earlier) rather than simply the officer doing the ban. We have a whole team of GAs who could do the notification which would assist the Delegate or the lead GAs.
In particular thinking of situations where the border control officer responds quickly to do the ban before returning to work (or sleep). 24 hours is a tight time frame and I could easily see it resulting in finger pointing as Praetor alluded to earlier.
 
Something else that comes to mind is using a scripted telegram from TNL. Would be a rather generic telegram mostly informing them that they were banned from the region alongside their right to a judicial review with relevant links and information.

It's up to us to legislate and to the Delegate to execute - let details of implimentation such as that be left to the Delegate, and let us set down the standards of what should be accomplished.
 
That section uses the word Government in a very particular sense. I would reuse it. If it seems vague, define it.
 
I withdraw my motion for a vote.
This is noted, and I'd just like to apologise for putting the proposal to vote earlier than it was supposed to be. This was largely an error on my part.
