I keep thinking I have finished drafting laws and then I realize I haven’t. Please don’t conflate that I love a ton of laws, I don’t most of my proposals this far are only Congress decisions aka policies not laws, this one though is a proposed law and one that is to make sure we don’t pass laws that are bloated omnibus bills in nature, that the Congress members have actually read and drafted them without bureaucratic sidestepping (although I don’t think we will have that problem we still can’t take any chances). This is taken from Jim Babbka’s Downsize DC proposed laws for the US federal government. Many American libertarians know that name well and this proposal combines his read the bills, write the laws and one subject at a time acts into a version for Liberland.
CONGRESS DECISION NO. [2026-Legislative-Integrity-30] / 2026 OF THE CONGRESS OF THE FREE REPUBLIC OF LIBERLAND LEGISLATIVE INTEGRITY AND POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY ACT
The Congress of the Free Republic of Liberland,
WHEREAS informed consent by both legislators and citizens is essential to legitimate governance;
WHEREAS delegation of legislative power undermines accountability and the Non-Aggression Principle;
WHEREAS the Constitution already requires popular approval via LLM/merit-based referendum for entry into force of most major Decisions, providing a powerful final check by the people;
WHEREAS the blockchain enables transparent, verifiable processes;
NOW THEREFORE, the Congress hereby DECIDES and DECLARES as follows:
Article 1 – Read the Bills Requirement (Tiered) Section 1. Major Decisions Constitutional amendments, budgets exceeding a threshold set by Congress, or any Decision designated as major by simple majority vote must have their full text published on the Liberland blockchain and Transparency Hub for a minimum of seven (7) days prior to any congressional vote or popular referendum.
Section 2. For all other routine or administrative Decisions, the full text must be published for a minimum of 24 hours prior to voting.
Section 3. Each voting member of Congress must certify on-chain that they have personally reviewed the full text before casting a vote on any Decision.
Section 4. Citizens participating in any popular approval or referendum on a Major Decision must certify on-chain that they have personally reviewed the full text before their vote is counted. Votes without certification shall not be tallied.
Section 5. The Minister of IT, in consultation with the Blockchain & Technology Development Advisory Board, shall implement a simple auditable on-chain certification mechanism.
Article 2 – Write the Laws Requirement (No Delegation of Legislative Power)
Section 1. No Decision may grant any Minister, board, agency, or official the power to create binding rules having the force of law. All such rules must be enacted directly by Congress.
Section 2. Advisory boards and ministers may issue only non-binding guidelines and recommendations.
Section 3. Existing delegations of rulemaking authority are revoked and must be replaced by direct congressional Decisions within 180 days.
Article 3 – Single Subject Guidance (Flexible) Section 1. Congress is encouraged to draft Decisions that address one primary subject, clearly expressed in the title, to promote clarity and focused debate.
Section 2. In Liberland’s quasi-direct democracy, unrelated but germane provisions may be included if clearly disclosed. Congress or citizens may request severance of unrelated provisions prior to popular ratification.
Section 3. Appropriations Decisions should focus primarily on funding and not include major unrelated policy changes.
Article 4 – Popular Approval Check (Constitutional Integration) All Decisions passed by Congress remain subject to the constitutional requirement of popular approval via LLM/merit-based referendum before entering into force (where required). The certification requirements in Article 1 apply fully to Major Decisions.
Article 5 – Enforcement and Transparency All certifications, publications, and votes shall be permanently recorded on the Liberland blockchain. Any attempt to circumvent these requirements (including false certification) shall constitute a violation of the Transparency and Accountability Act and may result in disqualification from public office.
Article 6 – Entry into Force This Act enters into force immediately upon adoption and constitutional popular approval (where required) and shall be recorded on the Liberland blockchain.
Adopted by the Congress of the Free Republic of Liberland on [Date] in session via blockchain governance.
