[i:1x2nplui][b:1x2nplui]Preamble[/b:1x2nplui]
This Bill proposes procedures for Franchulate process and further clarifies issues related to citizenship; namely expands the scope of Bill 5-3: Franchulates.[/i:1x2nplui]
[u:1x2nplui]
A. Definition[/u:1x2nplui]
Franchulates are parcels of mainland land held by an individual that become territories administered by the codes, constitution and TOS of the CDS.
[u:1x2nplui]B. Franchulate Application Process[/u:1x2nplui]
An individual who wishes to establish a franchulate on their mainland parcels must apply to the executive branch of the CDS.
In order to establish a franchulate, ownership of the parcel will be transferred to the Estate Owner of the CDS. The former parcel owner become leaser of CDS territory land, for which they will pay a monthly fee, before the 21st of each month.
The minimal area for a franchulate is the basic unit of land for citizenship in the CDS islands.
The monthly fee will be assessed using one of two options depending on which best serves the CDS and the franchulate:
A mainland global franchulate m2 rate;
A LL tier proportion rate
The same rate will be applied to all franchulate parcels.
The rate calculation is determined by the executive branch of CDS, then being subjected to approval by the RA.
The rate can be changed only when it serves the interests of the CDS and of the franchulate holders. Any change will take effect on the following month. The executive branch is required to inform the public about any changes to the rate, as well of the current rate at any time.
The executive branch of the CDS can delay a franchulate application till when/if the Estate Owner’s tier allowance allows a mutually beneficial arrangement.
The CDS will only accept, in each legislature, that an area up to 1/16 of the total area of the CDS will join as a franchulate.
Applications for new franchulates may only be approved in the first two months after the election of the RA.
The RA can determine, through a bill to the effect, that all applicants to a franchulate process deposit an escrow in the Bank of the CDS, the value of which shall be rated per m2 and determined in the same bill.
Upon approval a Franchise License shall be notarised with the Notary of the CDS.
The Estate Owner of the CDS, by request of the executive branch, will proceed to buy the franchulate parcel from its holders and manage it according to current CDS rules.
Franchulates will be able to define new covenants for their land and thus retain previous buildings or structures.
Franchulates can define their own charters, as long they don't conflict with the codes, Constitution and TOS of the CDS. These charters are valid on the franchulate area and must be notarised.
[u:1x2nplui]C. Citizenship, Rights and Duties[/u:1x2nplui]
The joining of mainland parcels to the CDS under the Franchulate process implies, from its holders, the acceptance, validity and upholding of the laws, constitution and TOS of the CDS in the parcels.
All rights and duties of citizenship apply to the citizens holders of franchulates, and no distinction shall be made by the CDS between them and citizens residing in the private islands in the CDS territory.
For electoral processes, the citizens holding any franchulate parcel will have the electoral address set in that parcel. If more than one distinct parcel franchulate by same citizen, they must notarise their choice of electoral address in the corresponding Franchise License.
