[Erik Mortis]

The following part of the Lawbook shall be modified to remove Clause 2, sub-clause a and c, move sub-clauses b into Clause 1, and remove Clause 2 outright.

Chapter IV: The sraad

B: Recesses

1. Voluntary Recess
a. The Landsraad may dissolve itself by a majority vote.
b. The Landsraad may specify in this vote a date upon which it will be reconvened, and that date shall be legally valid.
2. Mandatory Recess
a. On December 25th until January 2nd and July 1st until the July 8th, the Landsraad will be in Recess.
b. All bills on the floor shall be frozen until the Landsraad comes back into session.
c. The Landsraad may make their own procedure about what happens to bills during recess.

Resulting with:
Chapter IV: The Landsraad

B: Recesses

1. Voluntary Recess
a. The Landsraad may dissolve itself by a majority vote.
b. The Landsraad may specify in this vote a date upon which it will be reconvened, and that date shall be legally valid.
c. All bills on the floor shall be frozen until the Landsraad comes back into session.

As an alternative, I would propose the removal of the entire Section, edit it as above, and move it into the Procedures of the Landsraad as a new Section to that document.
