Greetings Again Fellow Atlantians.
Just a few fyi questions;
If  there are proposals to change Kingdom law are they required to be
publicly  posted so all Atlantians can respond?
Changes to Kingdom laws are enacted how?

In service,
Lord Probitas
(V. Small)
****************************************

There is no requirement for the Crown to preview law changes to the populace.  There is a requirement for them to be read aloud at a kingdom event and published in the kingdom newsletter before they are considered to have taken effect though.

>From The Great Book of Laws of the Kingdom of Atlantia: ( http://law.atlantia.sca.org/Law.html )

1.2   Enacting, Changing, and Repealing Law

No laws may be enacted, changed, or repealed without the approval of the Crown (or the Regent in the absence of the Crown) after consultation with the Curia Regis. Any action or circumstance not addressed or expressly forbidden by law shall be interpreted to be allowed or disallowed at the will of the Crown.

1.3   Requirement for Effect of Law

Laws do not take effect until proclaimed at a Kingdom-level event and the text published in the Kingdom newsletter. Laws must be given to the Kingdom Chronicler, in writing, at or before the Crown's last court to be valid. No provision of Kingdom law shall be in effect, nor shall the subjects of the Kingdom be responsible for such provisions, until such proclamation and publication has taken place.
