The Senate Regional Powers Act

Noting the power of the Senate to legislate on the activities of the regional government and assist Member Nations,
Convinced that to do the Senate should act upon that power to assist the Regional Government and Member Nations effectively,

THE SENATE OF PANESSOS ASSEMBLED hereby:

1. Resolves by its power of subpoena to permit any three or more Senators to issue a writ of summons to any Regional official at any time or to invite Member Nation's officials to attend for the purpose of questioning that official about his official acts and thoughts,
2. Directs Regional Ministers to form Committees with Senators in them, and to propose legislation that they deem necessary for the Senate's consideration,
3. Encourages Member Nations within the Senate to speedily propose legislation for the Senate's consideration.
