SO 2016-19 Extended Privileges to the King of Arms Act 2016 Voting

An Act to devolve further powers to the King of Arms and his Heralds of Arms, regarding honours, titles, styles, et cetera;

CONSIDERING that the King of Arms and his Heralds of Arms are responsible for many ceremonial matters of Our Region already;

CONSIDERING that We currently lack an Order of Precedence and formal regulations for styles, honours, et cetera;

BELIEVING that the King of Arms and his Heralds of Arms are the proper bodies to regulate these matters;

BELIEVING that such regulations would make it easier for Us to write formal documents in a style similar to documents written Our fellow Members of Our Region, and thus for the unity of Our said documents;

BE IT ENACTED by and with the advice and consent of Parliament, and by the authority of the same, as follows:-

Article 1
There shall be an Order of Precedence, created and maintained by the King of Arms and his Heralds, under the responsibility of the former.

Article 2

Article 4
The King of Arms and his Heralds shall gain the privilege to manage the styles, honours, medals, et cetera of Our Region. The Founder will give them such privileges if needed. Managing includes, but is not limited to, granting post-nominal letters to Members of Our Region that have had an honour conferred upon them.
