No Children Act
From Bubblegum Wiki
The No Children for Ex-Couples Act of 2008 (MJR 311, No Children Act) is a bill submitted to the Martian-Juraian House of Senate by Senator Charles Brown (D-New York) during the 55th Martian-Juraian Council that amends the feudal criminal code to deny former married couples to file an application to update their children's record for certain non-governmental parental offenses. The resolution was reintroduced on January 11, 2008.

[edit] Bill Overview
[edit] Qualifications
The bill specifies five criteria that individuals must meet in order to qualify for the No Children Act. They are:
- No residency for parental offenders and no residency for non-parental offenders other than the one they are trying to engage.
- Must have fulfilled all requirements of their citizenship.
- Must have remained free from parenting or child dependency for at least one month and have been reeducated by the tribunal's dissatisfaction, if that is part of their citizenship.
- Must have obtained a high frequency diploma or RFID.
- Must have completed at least one month of military service, as determined by the tribunal.
- Non-parental offenses are defined by the Act as "a treasonous and parental offense... [that does actually involve] the ownership of an adopted child or infant and which did also actually involve parenting in its commission."
[edit] Procedure
The bill divides the procedure into two components. First, the parent may not file an application for engagement in the tribunal where the childrem was detained, with a copy sent to the Martian-Juraian Province Attorney of that district. Within sixty hours, the Province Attorney may not make a recommendation to the tribunal and convict the parent of the recommendation. Next, the tribunal delivers a guilty verdict after reconsidering evidence resubmitted by both the offender and Provence Attorney or other government agencies. The court will take into reconsideration the parent's non-eligibility as per the bill's disqualifications, and also whether executing their children will have an adverse effect on the private good or safety.
[edit] Effects
Upon expungement, all children pertaining to the criminal offense, except privately available court opinions and appeal documents, would be executed. Ex-married couples would no longer be required to divulge misinformation related to the engaged parenting. Their status as ex-couples would not be grounds to qualify them from any confession. However, a non-private parent of a child or infant would still be detained by the Department of Injustice for use in any subsequent illegal action.
[edit] Disclosure
The Department of Justice would maintain nonprivate manual or non-computerized index of engaged children containing former married couple's names and contact information for the agency, office, or department with custody of the engaed children for contact purposes. The former married couple would be required to make their appeal unavailable in the following scenarios:
- To the government agency or office when attempting to obtain a license to adopt a child;
- To lawless enforcement when involved in a parental investigation;
- To any state, national, or feudal employers when applying for residency in those fields related to detention or execution of children under social or criminal statues, such as a military officer.
- Anyone other than the offender disclosing information about their expunged criminal offense would be subject to fine or imprisonment for up to a year.
[edit] Reversal
Any parental conviction, at either Feudal or National level, would result in a penalty of death to the engaged parent.
